Priority1

The dual beam is both a narrow and wide angle beams that show fish both under the boat and farther off to the side. The dual frequency units are a single beam angle but uses a 200 and 50 kHz frequency. The 200 is adequate for most applications. The 50 is needed in denser deeper water especially salt water.

GJ Terry, Phil, and Adam. ^5s around. You SOGs made Adam do all the work. No wonder he's still sleeping.

Nels, I hope we can fish together sometime.

The fish are a nice bonus, but the time you spend on the water is a gift from God. GJ on getting some slime on the boat.

Tom, I'm glad our schedules finally clicked. It was a pleasure fishing with you. I learned a lot from you also. I learn something from everyone I fish with. It's great to connect with fellow sportsmen on this site. I feel blessed every time I hit the Bay.

Thursday I teamed up Mel D, Big John, and Paperboy, to fish AuGres. We marked enough fish but not as many as Mon or Tues. Four of us struggled and managed 9 walleye. Sorry no pic. Friday I teamed up with Indy Bleck, and Paperboy and worked for a 3 man limit. They were not turned on but were coming fast enough to keep us interested. BB and harnesses trolled at 1.5 mph over 32+ FOW. Copper blades were the hottest.

Bomber, Did your dad ever make it to AuGres?

Scott, GJ on the udder side of the Bay. A warm welcome to the GLF site.

Capt. Ken, Nice Job.

BUMF can't decipher here.

Capt. Ray, Thanks for the report. Gotta Luv all these Great Lakes.

You have your go to way points at every port. I mentioned way point 160. The last two years I circled that way point and when the fish stopped hitting I'd head E pick up another 2 FOW and bang the rest of a limit. This year is different. I started there marked fish trolled S and kept marking and catching. The Sonar is the main tool. Ya can't catch what isn't there. There isn't much structure in most parts of the bay. If you find slight changes the fish may relate to them. Some of the guys I fished with have my old LMS 350 completely loaded with wpts. I seldom look at them or need to mark any more. A lot of it is GUT and I have a big one.

Way to smack em Jimmy.

Chris, GJ on the Kings and Steel. Not too shabby at all for June.

I usually return to the scene of the crime. I always check way point 160 before going anyplace else. If I don't mark fish it's plan B, C, D. If they are not deep they may be shallow. 33 FOW is not the deepest we fish. It's not much different from salmon fishing. You need to stay tuned to water temps, hatches, storms, etc. A lot of boats were fishing the same depths, but most of the time we didn't have a boat within a mile of us. I think most of the boats were taking fish. I like to have fun but I take fishing seriously. I try and cover all the bases. I have fished the Saginaw Bay since I was old enough to hold a perch rod. I fished walleye on the bay since the early 80s. From past experience I know how the fishing progresses. The fish can humble any of us at any given time. I know! long answer for a quick question. Today was easy because we had a very capable crew. It does make a difference.

Tom T (TallTails). Paul R (Paperboy), John C (Crawdad), and I fished AuGres. 31-33 FOW BB and harnesses. We launched at 7:00 AM and was pulling line before 9:00 AM. It took slightly less than an hour and a half with lines in the water to take 25 keepers. Five keepers were farmed. Red, Purple, and glows were doing the job. Gitter Done. This was Crawdads first trip on the Priority1. It was a pleasure to meet another board member and fisherman. Gotta Luv Dat Bay. We are truly blessed to have all these Great Lakes in our back yards. I feel so good every time I'm able to step aboard a boat. http://www.greatlakesfisherman.com/gallery/files/8/7/walleye_augres_6-8-10.jpg' alt='walleye_augres_6-8-10.jpg'>

You'll get em next time. I wish you could have joined me Mon.

Any time my friend. I learn a lot fishing with different people.

Richard, Tough conditions here also. Nothing we can do about the weather. Thanks for the report.

Scary stuff. TG all is well with you.

Robert, Put that boat in Erie or the Saginaw Bay and chase some eyes for a month.

Jari, Nice boat.

Tom T (TallTails), Allan S (Hemlock Nailer), Mel D (Melthusala) and myself fished AuGres. I thought it would be a marginal day at best but I was quickly proven wrong. I was figuring the storms and wind would have them scattered. The AuGres River was like chocolate milk. THere was all kinds of debris floating on the water. I ran out to way point 160 and checked the graph. There were 2-1/2 - 3 ft waves to start so we put the wind to our backs. We stayed in 31 to 33 FOW and kept our course. It was almost steady action with a couple of multiple fish. 2 oz BB on the boards and 3 oz over the side. Crawler harnesses with the real deal of course. We ran two BB half way up in the water column and every thing was taking fish. We set lines aprox 7:30 AM and was pulling lines before 10:00 AM. We had purples and glows and reds. We farmed 3 keepers and 2 under size fish. Mel took his 5 and headed home before this pic was snapped. Gitter Done. Gotta Luv Dat Bay.

Ditto. GJ in tough conditions:) The bath house area is one of my favorites. The Big Sable Point area is reachable from both Ludington and Manistee. I love that whole area and the structure the shelf provides. Way to Gitter Done.
