RECAP ZONE

Mother Nature was unkind to the 150 boats entered to fish the first stop of the 2024 Michigan Walleye Tour on the Saginaw River. Just a week prior the River was running normal and giving up 30lb baskets of 5 fish limits, but by midweek the weather had changed and fishing got tough.
Anglers were faced with faster than normal current, falling water on day 1 and rising water on day 2, cold air and water temps, inches of visibility in the muddy water, high winds and of course a little snow!
But like always, someone figures out the bite no matter how tough it is. Join Captain Lance as he recaps 2 tough days of fishing, what worked, some patterns that emerged and his thoughts on the tournament.

Sonar Interpretation

You can’t catch fish if you’re not fishing where they are! Seems simple, but even today anglers will randomly head out to the lake or river, put some lures in the water and hope.
