From Lake Erie to Saginaw Bay, folks are getting their boats out and ready to fish, some are fishing already. This is a great time of the year to get out and get some early fishing in. Here are some pics of friends who have been fishing Saginaw Bay since the ice broke out a couple of weeks ago.
The first pic is of good friend Adam Marchbanks with a nice healthy looking eater. Adam caught this one on a #14 clown shallow husky jerk, 60 foot behind the boat.
Here is Rick who was breaking in his new boat, who could blame the guy, new toy and great fishing equals a good day in anyone’s book. Rick caught this beauty on a Shad Rap imitation from Renegade available at your local Walmart for about 2 bucks. He ran it about 35′ back because it is a diving bait.
You may notice the clothing that the guys are wearing, heavy hunting gear along with ice fishing suits are always a good choice for the early big water season.
