Fun times!!! Good job on the fish too! Gotta love those outer bay walleye!

Wouldn't it be a lot closer for you to run out of Standish as much as you fish down there??

I hear you Scott. But some guys don't get out as much as you and I do. When you only fish four or so times a year all you care about is a good time and numbers. Get them on the fish. They were prepared for what was to come. And what difference is it pulling boards in or casting and reeling? Keep em busy and you get less complaints. I love every minute I can spend out there. We are truly blessed being able to play this game.

Oh I hear yeah! I like action and catching but those weeds suck!

Nice job Frank! fished in there last weekend and caught a lot of fish but I would almost fish out deep and get less bites then fight those stupid weeds...LOL!!:lol:

Nice job Frank. Was out Saturday, caught our 10 in one pass. The bay is on fire!

Any Keepers?

Nice job!!!!! Great fishing on Da bay!

You Da Man Frank!!! I'm not going to pay for Tow Boat next year knowing your around!! Your a lot cheaper....:thumb:

Does anyone have info or know where I can find info on the AuGres Sims Whitney Fire Department Walleye Tournament. It is scheduled for the 14th of June out of AuGres. Thanks

Yes its the 14th! Sign up is at Rivers Edge on Friday from 6 to 8 pm or in the morning of the tournament at the boat launch!

A lot of people have been asking me about the status of the ice on Lake Erie and Saginaw Bay and how it may affect the fishing this spring. In normal years, Lake Erie would be open by now and in some years we have started running charters by this time too. The western basin of Lake Erie is still mostly ice covered though, but there are some areas opening up in front of Monroe and also in front of Luna Pier where the warm water from the power plants dump in. Given warmer weather, it will be at least 10 days before Erie will possibly be fishable. The good news though is that the cold weather and ice cover will delay the spawn, which will put provide some prime fishing during the first couple weeks of April.

I am scheduled to move to Au Gres on April 16, and given decent weather, that should be an excellent time to get some bigger walleyes. Right now, the inner part of Saginaw Bay is frozen completely. There is open water though just north of Pt. Lookout by Au Gres. Au Gres should be ice free by April 1 and by April 16, we should see a lot of adult, post spawn walleyes along the Au Gres shorelines.

Au Gres is still locked up!!

any keepers:thumb:
