Fishing report for the Saginaw River from Woody at Live Bait.
Talking to Woody today Dec 16, 2000 he says the ice is anywhere
from 3 to 5 inches thick. The problem is there is lots
of slush. Be very careful IF you go out. We recommend at least 4 inches or better before you venture out on the ice. Use a spud for safety. Fish are being caught at Hooters, Wicks Park
and the Beanery. Most are smaller fish 18 -22 inchers with
many smaller non keepers being caught. Fisherman are having
there best luck on Char/White Jigging Rapalas or Char Jig & Minnow. The evening bite around 5PM has been the best. We will try to give a new updated report on this site every 2 or 3 days or as bite or ice conditions change. We are open from 6am to 6pm 7 days for your convience. We are at corner point of Michigan, Mackinaw, and Gratiot. You are more than welcome to call us at 517-797-8100 during working hrs. for any more up to date info I have.

We just keep getting more and more snow on the Bay and of course the river. The temps are here to make good ice BUT the snow keeps coming. Off to a start of a terrible year for SAFE ice, fisherman. Looks like also snowmobiles will be the ticket for getting around on bay. My quad is nice but deep snow?? Pulling equipment is tough going even with chains. Ha Let it thaw some and start over? Any seconds? Nels
