Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | Today, (not being quit like yesterday after the ice jammed cleared away from the ramp). When everybody up near the Spillway was catching fish. The river today was not giving up her bounty very easily. The water was more stained and in fact, I/we never seen another fish landed by anyone this morning or all day for that matter, nor did we hear or see any at the ramp with any when we took off. I caught a 20 inch Pike on my second cast this morning at 9:30am, then we never had another hit until after 12:00pm when they opened the Dam at Sandford. It was then and only then, I could put a program together with a reliable idea of where to find these hide and seek walleyes. Sandy current seam edges/ledges, between deeper holes and shallow flats was the only place we could get bit. And you had to pay the utmost attention to details, how you hopped you jig and exactly where it was in these seams. In total we got 14 bites all day and landed 11 fish, so that wasn't to bad. Here's the picture from today.

Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | Thank's Greg.
I loved that these guys were regulars of mine and understood what I was trying to get them to do in these tough conditions. I know our success yesterday would not have been as good if I would have had newbies in the boat.

Hunter.
It was below Dow. I seldom if ever fish above Dow. Fish can get above the spillway on high spring water, but wash back down fast after the spawn. I like how they tend to stack up downstreamn from the spillway during fall and winter under regular water conditions. When we pulled off yesterday, the run-off and river flow rates from the warmer weather was showing first signs of ruining the conditions fast. |
