Half Day Trip – Walleye (PM) on June 11, 2026 • 5 adults

You won't be disappointed. It's great to be able to duck in the cabin to get out of the sun occasionally. Captain is a hard worker.

Half Day on Saginaw Bay
Half Day Trip – Walleye (PM) on May 20, 2023 • 4 adults

I would give the Captain and crew 6 stars if I could. Had a great time with a very experienced, professional crew in Jon & Norm. Even though weather conditions were challenging, we hit our limit in 2 hours. They know their stuff! A good time was had by all!

    The Guide was excellent. The Captain was great and very knowledgeable. The boat was equally great with lots of room to fish. Our party of three limited out with 24 walleye in four hours. Can't wait for my next trip!

    Would definitely book again! I was worried about how much fun my 6 year old would have and how kid friendly it would be. But John really made sure everything went great!! Would recommend 100% especially with kids!
