They say you can’t fight Mother Nature, and nowhere is that more true than on the Great Lakes.
The last three times I’ve tried to get out on Saginaw Bay, high winds have kept me on shore. All the lakes are susceptible to wind, but the Bay is quite shallow and kicks up even faster than most.
You can fish in a three foot chop, tournament anglers do it all the time…but it’s just not fun.
We’ve had a lot of wind and cool weather this summer. There was a week back in June when we made it out every day, but since then the Bay has been unfishable at at least a couple days each week.
I have a feeling my fishing days on Saginaw Bay are rapidly coming to an end. The walleye fishery usually slows down this time of year anyway….and soon my time will be occupied with hunting.
Let’s just hope the wind doesn’t blow too hard to keep me out of a treestand….
