Dietrich's Sportfishing Charters – 28’
If you've never fished Saginaw Bay before and you're ready to go on Walleye-Perch hunt, book a trip with Dietrich Sportfishing Charters. Captain Shane Dietrich works very hard to put you on the fish and fill your cooler with a delicious catch.
Your transport and fishing platform for the day is Gypsea – a sturdy and spacious 28' Cherokee that accommodates as many as 6 anglers. She's powered by twin 270 HP Crusader engines, which means you'll be on the fish within 30 minutes after leaving the shore. Another great perk of the vessel is that she has an 11' beam, that allows your group to fully enjoy casting their lines and wrestling their catch. The boat's got a toilet and fish finding electronics that will help you locate those spooky fish even faster.
Capt. Shane provides all bait and tackle for your fishing expedition, so you're covered in that aspect. He will also do fish cleaning and bagging at the dock when you return so you can take those tasty fish home to eat. If you're in the mood to eat, but not so much to cook, you can take your cleaned catch to a local restaurant and they will transform into something delicious.
The waters of Saginaw Bay are abundant in Walleye and Yellow Perch, and they will be your main suspect as you head out to the best fishing spots. Walleye fishing is at full swing since April, and Perch takes the spotlight starting August. The season is open until the end of October, so be sure to book a trip up until that point.
Capt. Shane loves having kids aboard, teaching them how to bait their hook and learn more about fish. Captain has an expression that on His boat is very much family friendly and he enjoys taking out parents with children out for a fun memorable outing.

We had a fabulous experience with Captain Shane! We would absolutely recommend this to families with kids! Captain and his first mate were amazing to our son. We have very little experience fishing and they made this so much fun for all of us. To top it off Captain Shane recommended an amazing restaurant right down the street that would cook the fish we just caught! It was incredible.

Thank You!!!! we had a great time watching him haul them fish in the boat!!! Cannot wait to see his excitement and joy behind that fishing rod again. Happy Birthday Young man see you next year!!
We booked this trip based on the number of 5 star reviews. Captain Shane EXCEEDED our expectations! We caught a bunch of fish and had a great time. Captain Shane is super nice and very willing to teach "old dogs new tricks". I guarantee you will have a great time when you book with Captain Shane.

Thank You! It was awesome meeting and fishing with you guys!!
my buddy and I went out with captain Shane. He is very nice and easy going. and more importantly he is really good at his job. the water was a bit rough today making it a bit harder to find fish. However we still got our limit on walleye plus a yellow perch! I highly recommend captain Shane!

Thanks For the kind words Tim, It was great fishing with you and Chris!
We had 4 boys 12-14 and 2 adults on the trip. Captain Shane was great with the boys and they had a great time!

Thank you! I had a great time fishing with you all!! and them boys did a fantastic job reeling, netting, and boating all them walleyes!!
Great trip. Captain put us on the fish. Boat was exceptionally clean and spacious. Reports of little to no fish from other fishermen this particular day, yet Captain Shane worked hard and we were able to come back with a cooler full of Walleye. Great time highly recommend

Thanks Sean great fishing with you today enjoy your fish fry!

I grew up fishing the Saginaw Bay and its tributaries. I remember my dad taking me fishing for Perch, Walleye, Salmon, and many other species that Michigan has to offer on inland lakes, rivers, and the Great Lakes. I lived in very close proximity to the Tittabawassee River as a kid and remember my mom dropping me off on her way to work so I could fish. The Walleye runs were good back then but not near how great they are these days. I was passionate about fishing then and as I grew older, my passion turned into an obsession. Now the Walleye fishing is world class and as a grown man, I am still obsessed with catching and eating these tasty fish. I look forward to every trip I have on the Saginaw Bay. From the sunrises to the sunsets and all the great people I get to meet and fish with, I am truly blessed to have been introduced to fishing by my father at a young age.
