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!!
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!
Captain Shane was awesome ! We hit our limit with time to spare & had a great time ! Icing on the cake was taking our walleye filets down the road to Castaways for ‘Catch & Cook’ ! Highly recommend and want to bring the family back to do it again !
Thank You Niki, was great to spend the Morning with you!! I look forward to fishing with you again.

Our 10 year old grandson had a great time reeling in walleyes. He caught the majority of our fish plus the biggest one in the 4 to 41/2 pound range. The lake was rough but Shane worked hard helping us to get close to our limit. This is the second time we had Shane as our guide and he has done a fantastic job both times. This was our youngest grandson’s first time catching walleye. He had a blast. His favorite part of the trip was riding in the boat at full throttle and of course reeling in the walleye. Thanks Shane for a great trip!
We had so much fun! My hubby fishes a lot, but this was my first time on a charter and first time fishing for walleye. Captain Steve, First Mate Bailey and their crew member (I'm so sorry I didn't catch his name) were so attentive and good at what they do -- and hilarious! Laughed a lot, caught our limit, had amazing weather.. and I totally dropped the very first fish back into the water I attempted to hold in my hands.. sorry Bailey 😬😂 Would definitely go again 10/10!
