The Saginaw Bay is where it is happening with limits coming from the mouth of the Saginaw River to Lake Huron.
The inner Bay is producing limits of eyes with the outer Bay yielding larger class fish.
It's no secret, the Bay is a natural reproducing walleye aquarium, and each year it continues to improve.
Colors....think pink, purple, or blue and chrome.

Eventually, with the help of the anglers out there, we will have an index of pictures for people to look through. Kinda like a "fish foto album", filled with awesome pictures from all around the Saginaw Bay Area featuring someone or something relating to this great fishery located in our own back yard. From the Tittabawassee and Shiawassee Rivers, down the Saginaw River to the Bay, if it involves Saginaw Bay Walleyes, I will try to report it.
Submitted recipes will also be a feature of this site. This will undoubtedly be one of the highlights on this little corner of the web.
This recipe is dirt simple and maintains the mild flavor of the walleye.
Ingredients:
Open a beer and use to prepare Drakes to instructions. Dip walleye pcs in batter and deep fry at 350 degrees until golden brown. Remove, drain, and place a filet on each bun lower. Top immediately with a cheese slice, tartar sauce, and pc of lettuce. Put the bun top in position, squeeze to mouth size, take a bite and open another beer.
The key here is the "cheap bun" and the "Big Boy" tartar sauce. Others can be substituted but it can longer be labeled as "best".

No better recipe for fresh spicy Bay Walleye Submitted by: James, "Big Jim" McDonough
This is a time tested and very basic but awesome recipe for pan frying almost any fish. I especially use it for perch and walleye but have also used it on bluegill, bass, crappie and even cod fillets.
Make a breading mixture based on the following mixture:
1/2 by weight or volume white flour
1/2 by weight or volume yellow corn meal
Place breading mixture in a 1 gallon food storage bag. Prepare fillets by seasoning both sides with salt or I use McCormick Season-All. I like the McCormick better than Lawry's as it is milder. Place fillets in breading filled storage bag and shake until all fillets are covered with breading.
I believe the other single most important factor when frying fish is using the proper pan. I use a 15-1/2 inch Lodge cast iron fry pan and cast iron is the key. I cannot emphasize enough that cast iron is superior to anything for pan frying fish.
I use any good vegetable oil and make sure that you have enough oil in the pan. A little too much is better than not enough. Drop fillets into a hot skillet and fry until golden brown on both sides. Doesn't get any better than that.
Enjoy!

Take walleye fillets no skin chunk into 1.5 -2 inch pieces.
Take pound of bacon slice pound in half take bacon wrap around each fillet chunk, then stick toothpick thru bacon and fish to hold together cook on grill.
When the bacon is done, spread your favorite bbq sauce on & serve with garlic bread, coleslaw and a cold one.
Enjoy!
