Get ready for the ultimate freshwater adventure with Reel Respect Fishing Charters! Captain Darrin Howard is a 50-Ton Master licensed guide and expert angler with 4 decades of experience.

The Reel Respect is a 27’ Proline walkaround sportfisher and she certainly deserves the respect she demands. This vessel is equipped with all the amenities you need for a successful day of fishing, including the latest navigational equipment and top-quality safety gear. She’s spacious and comfortable, accommodating up to 4 guests per trip. She’s got a private head within the cabin, as well as a shower, kitchen, and bed, making her perfect for those long offshore excursions.

Capt. Darrin’s got the remedy for you if you’re suffering from “Walleye Fever.” He’s well-known around these parts for landing a large quantity of Walleye and has the state-of-the-art gear to help you battle against great tasting fish.

In the spring and summer months, you’ll be able to target Lake Trout and Walleye. Other frequently targeted species are Northern Pike, Perch and many more! The crew will offer to clean, fillet, and bag your catch so you can enjoy a nice home-cooked meal after the trip!

All you need to do is purchase a fishing license and meet Capt. Darrin down at Linwood Beach Marina in Saginaw Bay for Walleye and Perch fishing. Feel free to bring a cooler with food and drinks. Alcohol is permitted as long as you are over the legal age limit. Pack up some sunscreen, a hat, and an extra layer of clothing just in case, and you’re all set!

Last but not least, don’t forget a camera to capture each special moment on board. Book your trip today and join Reel Respect Fishing Charters on Lake Huron and other destinations. Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
