I fished tippy dam today on the Manistee River. Steelhead action was very slow. The Return this year for steelies is waaaay down, On the bright side fishing pressure was low so not very many people fishing so it was comfortable. Went 0/0 on steelies but I did manage to catch 2 of these guys!! Unfortunately can’t keep em for a couple more weeks yet. I will be scouting for Cisco and lake trout on Grand Traverse Bay late next week and getting ready for that, month of May is great time for them so if you would like to book a trip and get away from the rat race on the Detroit River and enjoy some peace n tranquility fishing up north get ahold of me please.
The river was a slow bite today for some reason, marked lots of fish but very few biters, we got a few and I did manage to get a nice one today that made up for a slow bite day. We covered lots of water from Bay city to Saginaw, Seen very few nets out today.
It was a very cold day on the Saginaw River today but I had great company with a father and his 2 sons fishing! I love fishing with people like this, great, positive attitudes and truly nice people and such a pleasure to be around!!We didn’t get any big ones today but ended up with a nice pile of some good eater size walleye and a bonus perch and lots of shorts today!! (There’s more fish that u cant see in the livewell fyi…) We used 1/2 ounce jig heads with anything purple. No minnow. We tried using minnows but not one bite with a minnow??? So purple was hot color today - Saturday. It didn’t matter whether it had paddle tail or split tail, but dark purple and purple ice. Thank you again Jack, Chris and Eric!!
