Saginaw Bay has been on fire for perch lately. I went out the last 2 days. Yesterday I went out scouting for my clients for today n they didn’t really bite until 1:30 pm and I ended up with some nice ones including a 13.5 incher. Today they started biting as soon as we got out there. My first fish was a crappie!!?? I’ve never caught a crappie way out in the bay in 27 ft of water before so that was a cool surprise??!!My guests Mark n Ron got some nice fish n I even got a 14 incher today!! I took a pic, the bottom fish is a 12 incher which is a rock solid fish n this 14 incher just dwarfs it. So they were biting on minnows n worms last couple days. It’s not fast n furious but slow n steady. Yesterday I put about 40 miles on boat searching as it was a slow bite early on n I ended up where I started the day n they ended up turning on in afternoon. So I think the key is just wait em out that’s what we did today n picked away at em vs moving. But fishin in deeper water seemed to be where there are at right now. Very thankful for my guests Mark and Ron n the great time we had today getting some white Gold out of Saginaw Bay!!🎣💪
Duck Confit is coming soon!! 😋Today was a very windy day here at Saginaw Bay. If you can’t fish you might as well duck hunt then!! 🤷♂️I was fortunate to take a couple mallards. My incredible wife loves to cook em with the skin on to draw out the fat in it which makes it taste so awesome! So I have to pluck em which takes a lot of time. Flight ducks are coming down. The picture of the duck meat on the left has nice thick skin with layer of Orange fat on it, The one on the right is a local bird. Skin is thin n pale and doesn’t have that orange glow as it hasn’t built up its fat yet. But can’t wait to cook em up soon!I love Fall time in Michigan- get outside and pick your pleasure! So much to do, so little time. 🦆🎣👍
As my Grandpa Luke used to say— “Slabs!!” “Slab City!”What a great day to be out on Saginaw Bay doing some perch fishin!! First I was Blessed with a great sunrise as I headed out on some choppy water, then I got into some nice jumbo Perch today. I got some great Slabs!It wasn’t fast n furious, it was just kinda slow n u had to wait it out n pick away at em when they came in. You’d have nothin for a while then get 2-3 or so when they came in n several were lunkers. Then I got home, cleaned up these fillets, I will say u won’t find fillets like this at your local restaurant. Then my awesome wife drove 3 hrs from up north n I had enough time to cook her a great meal just as she arrived to our cabin!From lake to plate n man were they tasty!! 😋Gotta love Fall time here in Michigan! 💪
