Action-packed day from the get-go! Ailey, James, and Nick joined me for an early morning summer trip on Saginaw Bay. Clear conditions throughout the day made for perfect fishing weather on the water. The bay was in great shape and ready to produce some solid action for our crew.

With our gear rigged and ready, we focused on trolling, still fishing, and casting to work the productive areas. The crew caught 15 walleyes and 1 big bonus perch during our time on the water. Saginaw Bay continues to be one of the top spots up north for consistent walleye action, especially when you can mix techniques like we did. We wrapped up the trip with great catches and smiles all around!
