Saginaw River Bait Shops

[hooksetter]

My son-in-law is going walleye fishing tomorrow on the Saginaw River. He is launching at the launch off M-46. Can anyone tell me where the nearest bait shop is, what time they open, and exactly where it is located? A phone number would be great. I appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks Hooksetter

I know of one if you go north on M-13 north of town its a hotel and baitshop together. The baitshop is north of the Zilwakee bridge on the right side of the road.

I did a search on google and found the following link www.saginawbay.com/marinas/baitshops.html

I haven't been to either of these so try to check it out before you go.

It would also be helpfull to know where he's coming from. He could stop outside Saginaw and get bait I know other places if I knew witch route he's on.

sorry i'm posting so late but if he would continue straight on m-46 (instead of turning left to the launch) take it to Michigan St. hang a right and just up across from the McDonalds and beind the Rally's Restaurant there is a baitshop. It is painted up like an american flag and positioned right on the corner..hard to miss. I've seen guys there when I go by around 6am but not exactly sure on the times. Sorry not sure on the name or phone number..they used to have a bait vending machine out front for 24 hour service, can't remember if its still there though.

Sounds like they are doing good just down from that launch. Leaving the launch go down to the right and just before the river splits there is a park on the left bank. the river cuts in at one distinct area and it is a nice honey hole. actually guys work that whole stretch from the launch to the split.

Good Luck

Thanks for the info guys. I won't talk to my son-in-law until Saturday. After I do, I will post the results.
Thanks again
