Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay.		Had another day of strong winds on the Bay. Yesterday was really tough after 4 days of that NE blow. The surface temps have dropped 5 to 6 degrees and the water was cloudy. We only managed 7 fish yesterday with only 5 being keepers. But these were SW winds this morning and allowed me some leeway with my fishing program. Headed immediatley up-wind and against the waves, South of the Intake Crib and into 12 FOW. Set the rods and began trolling with the 1 to 2 footers that slowly built to 3 as we progressed up and away from the shoreline. Wasn't until we hit 16 FOW that we got our first fish. A nice plump 2 to 3 pounder on my Salt Water Gulp Rig. Starting slowly I kept changing over each rod to Gulp Salties. Long story short, boated 13 walleye landed 9 on the Gulp Minnows with 7 of them keepers in the half day charter. Heres the fish and the way I rigged them.

I'd like to take full credit for this one but cannot. The charter boat captian docked next to me tried them in this fasion on his regualr harnesses with #4 blades using very light botton bouncers when fishing up near the weed beds, and knocked the crap out of the walleyes using it. I just took it to the next step with my spoon harnesses.

Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay.		In principal yes. But them Gulps sure stink it up and they look very much like a goby.
