Saginaw Bay Fishing Report

02/01/2012  Wow over 53 degrees on the first of Feb. The off shore ice continues to be unsafe. The ice that is remaining in the LBMC basin is not snow covered and slick. A few fisherman are out today going after the Perch. There were a few guys with tip ups going for the few Pike that are in feeding on the Perch. The 5 day forcast is looking more like an early spring forcast, we are not looking for ice conditions to improve much thru out the week. We will keep you updated as conditions change.

Good Luck and be safe.

 1/28/2012   I just witnessed the true dedication to Saginaw Bay Walleye fishing. Currently the shore ice goes out approx 1/4 mile or better from shore and then is all open water after that. This morning prior to the ice fisherman arriving. Two guys put a 16' Alum outboard power boat onto the ice and pushed it out to the open water. Around noon we seen them puching it back in. After hard work they loaded up their boat and showed us their catch.  2 nice 6lb plus walleye and one smaller one. They are truely dedicated to fishing.  

 Remember when getting on the ice at the marina only access from the boat ramp. DO NOT go down the docks or rocks. Future ice access depends on the fishrmans respect of the property and following the rules.Thank you,

Good Luck and Be Safe....
