Bauer's 6/28/2009 walleye fishing trip on Saginaw BayHunter, Shannon and Jeff, Jason, Michelle and Dennis came out fishing in 3 foot waves this morning as part of a charter trip I dontated to hands of hope at Covenant Healthcare. Nick and I set lines and we started catching fish out near #1 buoy in Saginaw Bay. We had 21 walleye when the wind starting blowing hard. We decided to quit as we didn't want to have a 2 hour boat ride back to the dock against 6 foot waves. The small craft advisory was put into effect by the time we arrived back at the dock.
Bob Sauve's family 6/27/2009 pm walleye fishing trip on Saginaw BayBobby, Paul and Mark got to my dock at 3pm expecting me to hop on the boat and start fishing and get done early. I turned the key and the boat was dead. No power anywhere. It turned out after 90 minutes of troubleshooting that the problem was a 50amp circuit breaker had gone bad. I replaced it and off we went to buoy #1. There we picked up our limit in about 2 hours and we caught that 11 pound catfish that qualifies them for a master angler patch.
Covenant's 6/27/2009 am walleye fishing trip on Saginaw BayRhonda and her son, Tom and Karen, Rod and Cody joined up at the Covenant work perks for a great day on the bay. The wind was light and variable, and there were virtually no waves except for other boats, which stayed away from us. We caught a 6 man limit in just under 4 hours, with both Nick and I working the rods. The bite was constant and we probably only had all the lines in the water for 10 minutes total during the morning. I hear there was a hatch that afternoon, but we had finished before the bugs hatched and got back into port early.
6/21/2009 Chris and Andy fished with me in 25 fow by the number 1 buoy in Saginaw Bay. The best harness was any color bead with a white #4 blade (back and front were both white). #2 producer was pink with a white back and white stripe in middle with black dots in white stripe. #3 was white beads with a orange blade (back and front). 1 oz at 45 feet, 2oz at 35 feet, 3 oz at 23 feet all produced equally. We took 25 on Saturday, and 15 on Sunday. We stopped when we hit our limit for the number of people on board each day. Both days, we had to throw keepers back because as we reeled in lines, fish were still biting. The color is really important, they hit an occasional fire tiger, but if white or pink was involved, the fish inhaled the bait. Today we were done before the sun broke through the clouds. Yesterday it was the same colors early, but as soon as the sun came out almost anything was taking fish. We were pulling lines and throwing fish back that hit after our last fish.
If there is anything we can do to accomodate you, please call me and ask. We want this to be fun and memorable. We watch the marine forecast closely for every trip, and will ask you to re-schedule if we think conditions are unfavorable.
