Capt.Dans Fishing Report
Hey Gang. Well, the fishing IMO is still slower and off from the previous couple of years, yet can still reward you with a decent catch is you stay persistent and able to switch gears when need be. That may include going armed with several techniques, the equipment and the knowledge about when to [...]
Walleye Fishing | AuGres, MI
Walleye fishing in the AuGres area of Saginaw Bay has been spotty the last couple of weeks due to extremely HOT weather, bug hatches, and a mix of thunder storms and very windy conditions. Fishing started picking up again yesterday (Monday) in the 15-17-foot depths where anglers trolled primarily with crawler harnesses. Experiment with blade [...]
Capt.Dan Fishing Report
Hey everybody. Well, with what has historically been one of the best walleye fishing months behind us, I’ve made some personal observations. I get a sense (because of what I’m seeing on my fish finder) that the forage base in the Saginaw Bay is very much higher then the past few years. Large, dense clouds of baitfish [...]
Capt.Dans Fishing Report
Hey everybody. I’m very sorry about not keeping up with the reports so far this summer. I’ve had some unexpected problems with my boat that had to be addressed, and those problems kept it out of the water until early last week. And not having any first hand info of my own and very [...]
Capt.Dans Fishing Report 05-07-2010
The fishing on both the bay and the river is finally falling into place. We had great fishing from ice out right up until the start of the inland season, but things slowed down for a brief period of time IMO. It may have been that weird (summer like) Hot few days we had, fallowed by those few cold fronts that moved through the area
Captain Dan’s Updated Walleye Report
Hey everybody. The walleye exodus out of the rivers has started. Me and the brother have been catching a lot of spawned out males as of late, and yesterday our catch included 3 very nice spawned out females, the biggest of which were released. Pictures as always included. These above average temps we’ve been having, [...]

Can you help us stop Asian carp?
As you know, Attorney General Mike Cox is fighting Illinois and the federal government in the U.S. Supreme Court to force the closure of locks in Chicago waterways infested with Asian carp, where we’ve been joined by New York, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ontario. These invasive species could decimate our Great Lakes-based economy, valued in [...]
Capt.Dans Fishing Report 11-24-2009
Hey everybody. I’m posting yet another report and pictures tight on the heels of the last one, because as the fall wears on, this spectacular open water fishing we’re having on the Bay right now will soon be done and gone. I know it’s hard to squeeze yet more time into what is always [...]
Capt.Dans Fishing Report 11-15-2009
Hey everybody. Hope everybody has their buck by the time they read this report. I’m not quite sure what to do or where to fish in these last two weeks. The River is giving up both good walleye catches and now decent perch catches this last week. But something is happening on the bay [...]
