hear fishy fishy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 The river has been mostly free of ice along with the bay. The ice on the bay is not very good and would not recommend going out on it. The river has been kind of slow as most of the fish have not moved in yet. They are getting a few smaller fish however. I would recommend checking this site out.http://www.saginawbay.com/appiesboard/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Bomb Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Fished the river the last couple days. TONS of fish in the system. Your going to sort through allot of small fish to get to the keepers. Pulled 8 yesterday and 5 today, so 13 keepers outta probably 100+ fish boated. 3/8-1/2 oz. jigs with minnow imitating rubber bodies, twister tails and drop shot type worms are all working well.Ill post a pic when i get them up of the limit i caught.

I had the hot hand and got my limit and the guys added 3 more that day. Used the same thing on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
