I get whitefish at scallywags in traverse city every time we go... Its pretty much my favorite fish aside from walleye... Hence the reason i love Saginaw bay so much

That is a hog! very Nice!
X2 on Scallywags, love their fried whitefish, fries, and hushpuppies. Add a cup of their whitefish chowder and it's one of our favorite meals.

All the fish but the smalleye came on tipups... Bite shut off when the wind shifted was a beautiful day.... Might be one of the last safe days on the bay this season
