Saginaw Bite is On…

Friday, February 29th, 2008

…and then off again, then on again yesterday.  Will have pictures later on,  but the one day get-a-way was worth waking up at 3 am to get things going before heading out at four.  Fishing like any other outdoor activity can be just about getting out and being with good friends.

Between the five of us who started out, there were 9 fish caught in the morning, with a few misses, and lots of teasers on the Vexilars.  A couple of more guys from the Fish Michigan website came out and caught a couple of more and a whitefish between when the walleye were biting in the morning, and again after 4 pm.

Seemed like the hot spoon for the day was a quarter ounce Do-Jigger, nickel with the green flash on the front.  During, roughly a 40 minute period my buddy Adam caught seven on the is spoon and minnow head presentation.  It wasn’t long before everyone in the group had this combination down the hole catching walleye. Most of the fish he caught seemed to be  while he was on the phone with other folks on the bay checking in and getting reports.

 It was a good day all around, some new friends, lots of good sized fish,  food at the right time and great weather.  Have you never been hungry until you realize there is food on the way?!!!!!!!!!!  That’s my thought for the day lol. puzzler
