Hitting the Bay - 6/19 ?

[The Whale]

Hoping to hit Saginaw Bay (6/19) in the a.m. Probably be heading toward the Pin Bar area. Weather will be the stopper as usual. Anyone else heading out ?

[kbkrause]

Not me, but I hope you do well Whale...:)

[DREAMCATCHER]

Hope to be hitting the bay as well on Sat. Au gres for me. Area has been on FIRE for awhile. This is by far the best early fishing for me and I have not had to run far. Give me shout, sometimes I can pick-up that area-ch 10--dream catcher. Have been reading posts from walleye express on his spoon/big gulp rigs. Have you tried this set up yet? I might give it a try. Plastic/spoons off a three way have been my weapons of choice so far and they have worked pretty well. Only thing I do not like is the time it takes to get them back with out getting all tangled up$#$^%^&^!! Sounds like his barrel swivel-slider might be the ticket. How bout you? Be safe not sorry--DC

Thanks, KB !


Dreamcatcher, the spoon/gulp thing looks promising. I've been toying with the plastic crawlers since early last year too, fair success at it also. I think them 'eyes are gonna bite what you put in front of them (real or not, as long as it is not offensive to them) when they're "on the bite" no matter what. :evil: They sure do keep the "tail biters" from screwing around with ya, though I just can't let go of the real thing yet. I've been running Pa's/harnesses usually and some plain silver spoons in front of harnesses with decent results, the extra flash of the silver spoons helps to get their attention from a distance I believe. I run about a 30" - 36" lead from my spoons to the harnesses I make. ;) Killer. The slider rig looks very cool. :cool: Good luck to ya should you get out ! :D

I should be out there also on Saturday as long as weather cooperates. I've been hearing Pinc. Bar anywhere from 12-18ft water with harness's/bottom bouncers been doing good. I'll probably launch out of Hoyles and try a couple areas I know out from there, but may wind up on the Pinc. bar. I'll be on 68. Good luck.

I will also be out Sat. and Sun., wind permitting. Either Hoyles or AuGres. Tournament going on out of Hoyles Saturday and Sunday. I have been getting all my fish this year on cranks on the east side of the channel.

The MWT is out of Hoyles this weekend, The launch will be pretty congested.........

Thanks Tom22 for the info on the tournament out of Hoyles this Saturday ... Does anyone think I could get a 20ft Lund out of Gambils launch,,,,I know this rain may help, but was wondering if anyone been through the channel with a boat of this size???? Any info is appreciated.

[baydog2]

Blackhawk I have not launched out of there this year. Last year I launched out of there and they was getting a few decent size boats out of there. Here is his phone # (989) 879-3303. Baydog2

We just launched a 19.5 ft Lund this afternoon from Gambils. No problem. The water is high.
