5/26/17, Saginaw Bay, Au Gres, Fishing Report

 

We ushered in the Memorial Day weekend nicely today with my clients from the Grand Rapids area catching their limits of nice walleyes. With a fairly stiff NW wind this morning, we fished all kinds of depths from 12 to over 25' deep and caught walleyes in all depths too indicating that the fish are widely scattered, likely form the big, two day, NE blow over the past two days. All our fish were pulled right off the bottom today with meat. I checked the stomachs of a few fish today and they were all eating leaches and bugs, so it's no wonder our bottom program produced better than anything else I heard of today. Colors did not make any difference today as everything got hit about equally. Our trolling speed was kept close to 1.5 mph. We caught a lot of undersized walleyes today too; perhaps over a dozen, so we had lots of action indeed. Those small walleyes bode well for the future of the fishery too.
