Priority1

The strong SW winds kept us from getting where we wanted to fish. We did manage 8 keeper size walleye and about the same amount of sub legal fish. We were drifting with the 2-3 foot waves with a 4 foot wave thrown in every now and then. We were able to troll into the waves but the fish didn't like that presentation. Chartreuse was our best color and purple was a close second. Bottom bouncers and harnesses. Surface water temps are still sub 70s.

GJ Jim. Thanks for the report. Priority1 will probably get washed there a couple of times in August. Manistee is my favorite Lake MI port, and the closest.

Way to gitter done Randy.

It's good to hear that Muskegon is heating up. GJ Mike and crew.

Paperboy, Oscoda Frank, Big Jack, and myself hit the water early to beat the predicted storm. It was foggy, and choppy when we launched around 6 AM. We had to work a bit but pulled lines about 11:45. We probably didn't set lines until about 7:30. We checked a few places, then decided to run S. By run I mean a 6 miles ride @ 10 MPH. It wasn't bad coming back. 27 FOW, bouncers and meat, doing about 1.5 MPH. Purple red, and chartreuse were getting it done. We did farm a few keepers pulling lines and also released 10-15 undersized walleye, and a half a dozen sheephead. Gottal love the Saginaw Bay.

Get the kids hooked on fishing. They'll love you for it.

Nice fish. I lightened the pic up a little.

John, I'm glad you finally got a taste of our beloved Sag Bay. The smiles say it all.

More toys for big boys.

GJ in tough conditions Dan. Gitter Done.

We looked @ WPT 160 where we left off Friday but the fish were gone. We tried a little S. of Pt AuGres in 30 FOW and picked up a few. We trolled in to 27-28 FOW and started to hit some fish. We only ended up with 12 and a bonus perch, but have a starting point for tomorrow. Same program bouncers and meat, 1-1/2 MPH purple, chartreuse, and red. Three of us will try and get on and off the water before the storms hit tomorrow. It seems like a changing game every day. Last year we pounded the same spots consistently. We are still having a VG year with so many limit catches. Gitter done.

GJ on the eyes Steve.

Way to gitter done Matt.
