Spend a day fishing with Danny Boy Fishing Charters! Captain Duane has made it a priority to teach fishing to kids and adults alike to introduce them to the fun and exciting sport of fishing. Through a network of like-minded fishermen, Duane is always up to date on the locations and the tactics to put fish in the boat.
Your journey starts on a 34’ Baha boat. This catamaran welcomes up to 6 guests who can fish at the same time. The boat is powered by twin 450 HP Mercruiser engines, which can take you fast to any fishing spot you need. Comfort is a huge advantage of this boat, as she features a private bathroom, a galley, a lounge area, and a flybridge.
When it comes to fishing in Saginaw Bay, it all comes down to one main trophy - Walleye! The best way to catch this fish is by trolling, so the boat is equipped with several outriggers and downriggers. The captain prefers to use artificial lures but, at occasions, he’ll also use worms and prepare them before the trip starts.
You’ll be provided with Shakespeare and Okuma fishing gear, which is included in the price. Capt. Duane will prepare bottled water and some snacks but feel free to bring some of your choice. Since you get to keep the catch, it’s recommended to bring cooler for your catch.
Danny Boy Fishing Charters’ mission is to provide a fun-filled fishing experience for adults and kids alike. Become a part of this mission and enjoy it!

Capt Duane met us at the gate & showed us to the boat. Quickly cast off & we were on the bay setting outriggers. Tough day of fishing but the captain kept trying new setups & we managed to get on some walleye. My boys & I enjoyed our day & would go out on the Danny Boy with Captain Duane again.
