5/23/15, Saginaw Bay, Au Gres, Fishing Report

My clients today, from Marion, Michigan, caught their limits of nice walleyes. This was a Christmas present gift certificate that they cashed in today and they expressed that it was a very good gift. I sell a quite a few gift certificates and I have never had a recipient that was not happy with the gift of fishing. We ran out to the same spot where we limited out on yesterday's charter, but the bite started off slower than the day before with a light bite and more fish being lost than caught. The bite did pick up as the morning went on, but we still lost probably over 20 walleyes today as they were just not taking the lures very well at all. They also caught a trophy class, 15 pound channel catfish today too as a bonus and that brute put up a very long lasting battle. We also caught one sheephead too, but all the rest were nice, perfect eating size, walleyes. Most of our walleyes today were 16-20 inches but we did have two bigger ones right up the boat, but they got away before I could get a net around them. We stuck with the same spinner/crawler rigs that I have been using successfully for weeks with four red/silver and four fire/tiger harnesses: Six were deployed off Church Tackle Walleye Boards and the remaining two were run right off the gunnels (flat-lines). The Starboard flat-line was the hottest rod today by far for some reason, but every rod took multiple hits too. We were trolling at 1.3 to 1.6 mph in the surging 2 to 3 foot waves, that eventually calmed down to ones and twos by late morning. It was Christmas in May today on my boat and it was a very merry Christmas indeed.
