Saginaw Bay

[icepik]

The ice on Saginaw Bay is starting to deteriorate, and anglers need to use caution. The shore ice is also starting to break up making access more difficult. Perch have been caught in 5 to 10 feet of water straight off Palmer Road and in 2 to 4 feet of water off Geiger Road. Walleye fishing has picked up with fish caught in 16 feet of water off Erickson Road and Linwood. Fish were caught in 11 feet of water off the Bay City State Park and in 7 feet of water off Vanderbilt Park. Good catches of perch were reported off Bay Port, but anglers need to watch ice conditions as four anglers went through the ice over the weekend.

I seen this on the michigan dnr page.

update to last report

High winds blew the ice out of Saginaw Bay so anglers are starting to get the boats out. Fishing activity is starting to pick up off the mouth of the Hot Ponds. Anglers are reminded that the Hot Pond Channel inside the Power Plant property is considered to be inland waters and is closed to walleye fishing until April 30th.
