08/13/2009 Saginaw Bay Fishing Report

Captain Ryan Sagady from Bay Sportfishing Charters reports from Saginaw Bay:

The fishing has been hot lately on the Saginaw Bay. We have taken easy limits and probably caught over 60 walleyes on my last two charter trips. The action has taken place in 10-13 feet of water on crawler harnesses with silver blades. There are a lot of floating weeds in shallow and Bass Pro fish weights have been the key to success in the weeds. The lip on the weight is just enough to catch floating weeds traveling down your line, keeping your harness clean. Be sure to use your electric trolling motor to stealthily troll over these shallow fish without spooking them. You also want to make sure that your Off Shore boards are far away from the boat in these shallow water situations. The usage of tattle flags has also been instrumental in detecting a buildup of weeds on my weights. Summer is winding down so be sure to get out and do some walleye fishing. The good old days are happening right now on the Saginaw Bay!!!!!
