With the Fourth of July weekend upcoming, it's nice to know that if you can get out on the Bay somewhere, YOU WILL CATCH FISH!
A fellow church goer was telling me yesterday about how he had gone out in his 12 foot aluminum row boat/small trolling motor just southeast of the manmade island on Saturday, and caught 12 eyes, 2 cats, and 3 sheephead in about 1 1/2 hours.
I would like to say that we were in church and I don't think this guy would be fibbing in home of the King of Fishermen. And of course he kept the best five walleyes 16-18"
You can go just about anywhere on the Bay and catch walleye right now. The Bay is just full of fish. East or West side of the Bay is HOT with action as you will read in the reports posted below.
Please stay safe this Holiday Weekend and have a little fun. Be an American and do what makes us the greatest nation on the planet. CELEBRATE FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE!!
AS ALWAYS....God bless our troops, Thank you to all of you warriors who read this report. My family and I enjoy freedom because of you, and we appreciate it.
This area is reported by you, so if you don't see a report,

Went 5 miles west from Sebawing and fished the bar. Started at 11:00 am, wind was out of the north and very light, caught only two catfish(8 to 10 pounders). Wind changed to NE and picked up, water also went from 1 ft or less to 3 and 4 ft. Fish turned on and we caught 10 keepers in one hour, along with two more cats and some drum. Could have stayed to get five more for our limit but the waves started to push 4 and 5 feet from the NE which made our five mile run very long and slow. Used weight forward spinners and crawlers to catch all of the fish, combinations of Chartrues and White were the ticket. Good luck and watch out for mother nature, she takes as quickly as she gives.

Weather is a very important part of puttin' wally in the bucket, I've searched the world over and found these links. Check them out and let me know what you think....

Eventually, with the help of the anglers out there, we will have an index of pictures for people to look through. Kinda like a "fish foto album", filled with awesome pictures from all around the Saginaw Bay Area featuring someone or something relating to this great fishery located in our own back yard. From the Tittabawassee and Shiawassee Rivers, down the Saginaw River to the Bay, if it involves Saginaw Bay Walleyes, I will try to report it.
Submitted recipes will also be a feature of this site. This will undoubtedly be one of the highlights on this little corner of the web.
This is a time tested and very basic but awesome recipe for pan frying almost any fish. I especially use it for perch and walleye but have also used it on bluegill, bass, crappie and even cod fillets.
Make a breading mixture based on the following mixture:
1/2 by weight or volume white flour
1/2 by weight or volume yellow corn meal
Place breading mixture in a 1 gallon food storage bag. Prepare fillets by seasoning both sides with salt or I use McCormick Season-All. I like the McCormick better than Lawry's as it is milder. Place fillets in breading filled storage bag and shake until all fillets are covered with breading.
I believe the other single most important factor when frying fish is using the proper pan. I use a 15-1/2 inch Lodge cast iron fry pan and cast iron is the key. I cannot emphasize enough that cast iron is superior to anything for pan frying fish.
I use any good vegetable oil and make sure that you have enough oil in the pan. A little too much is better than not enough. Drop fillets into a hot skillet and fry until golden brown on both sides. Doesn't get any better than that.
Enjoy!

Take walleye fillets no skin chunk into 1.5 -2 inch pieces.
Take pound of bacon slice pound in half take bacon wrap around each fillet chunk, then stick toothpick thru bacon and fish to hold together cook on grill.
When the bacon is done, spread your favorite bbq sauce on & serve with garlic bread, coleslaw and a cold one.
Enjoy!
