Hey all,

not from around here & haven’t been able to get out of the dorm to go fishing yet. Wondering if it would be worth it to give the Saginaw river a try or if doing so right now would be pointless. Also curious about spots to fish from shore, not secret spots, just publicly accessible spots. Any information/tips would be greatly appreciated, or if ya need a partner

thank you !!

Hey Man! You at Saginaw Valley? My boy is a senior in HS and is strongly considering SVSU for next fall. You like it there? The SagRiver is full of walleye and it is most definitely worth a shot. I'm from the Grand Rapids area and I'm about ready to take the 2 plus hr drive over there with the boat. I fish the river a decent amount but always from a boat. But pretty sure you can get into plenty of walleyes from shore pitching jigs and plastics. I believe Bay City is a bit better for shore fishermen, but think plenty get caught in Saginaw as well. Do a little searching on this forum and you'll find more info on shore fishing. Also search "Saginaw River Walleye" on Youtube. There are a few pretty good shore fishing videos on there that should help you out a bit. And if you are still there next year, maybe my boy will be your fishing partner...I know he will be exploring the river from shore a bunch if he ends up over there for school.

Vets park has a long section of River Walk that is easily accessable. Boys & Girls Club has a nice dock to fish from. Both are productive from shore and in Bay City.
Vets had 20 guys from shore yesterday, just saying.

Pretty sure that spot along the wall at vets Park was dredged out for the tall ships so when you drop your s*** over the side of that wall that goes straight down

So your saying the fish are likely right out in front of the wall eh.

It's about 8' along the wall until you get about 30' out then it drops off quick

It's about 10-12' deep within vertical jigging range about 6' from wall. Used to be alot of big rock in there and they cleaned it all out a few years back for the tall ships. Now the perch don't hang there like they used to, but good for the eyes....I'd rather have the perch..
