We begin our fishing charter and guide service each spring on the Saginaw River jigging up big trophy class pre-spawn walleye. Our start time is dependent on weather and ice conditions. Some years we are able to start in January and and sometimes it March before we are able to get the boat out on the river. After the season closes on the Saginaw River March 15th we move our operation to Port Clinton Ohio to fish Lake Erie. Lake Erie is known for GIANT walleye and we catch some of our biggest walleye of the year here. It is not uncommon to catch a 10+ pound trophy on one of our guided walleye charters and you also have the potential to catch some over 12 pounds. ​ At the beginning of April we head to the Detroit River to follow the walleye on their spawning run up from Lake Erie into the river. The Detroit River is know for fast pace walleye jigging action where you have a rod in your hand and are able to feel bites and catch your own fish. This fishery draws in fisherman from all over the country At the beginning of May through the end of July we enter my favorite time of the year. We will be running guided walleye fishing charters on the Saginaw Bay. Trolling and covering water with big spreads of 12-16 rods is the name of the game here. Hot walleye fishing action and putting lots of good tasting walleye in the cooler quickly is the norm. Sit back relax and get ready to crank, the crew will set all of the lines and bait all of the hooks, all you have to do is battle walleye to the net! August we head across the state to fish Lake Michigan out of the Port of Ludington. Big king salmon is there target here. Hard long battles against 20+ pound fish is what makes this fishing so much fun.

Half Day Trip – Walleye (AM)
What a great time we had. The captain is very friendly and super knowledgeable. We were a party of 3, we all caught our limit of walleye, plus a few perch and a catfish, shared some laughs and then the captain filleted our catch in record setting time. Very impressed and can’t wait to go out again this fall.
