Join Windrift Sport Fishing for a day of fantastic fishing! Experience what Saginaw Bay has to offer with Captain Douglas, who’s been catching fish his whole life. He’s been guiding fishing trips for over 40 years and there’s no one better to show you the thrill of this sport.

Based in Linwood, MI, capt. Douglas is on the water most of the year. During Spring and Summer on the 30’boat and winter you can take a trip on his, 20 ‘ boat while Fall is reserved for smaller groups.
We clean fish in the summer but in the winter we do NOT.
You’ll drift along the bay aboard a 20 ft Crestliner, powered by a 150 HP Mercury engine, and a 9.9 auxiliary motor. A livewell and outriggers are fitted on board, including space to set up to 14 trolling lines, so you’ll have the advantage when trying to lure the bite. There’s enough space for 3 guests to fish in You get to keep the catch within the legal limit. We can not clean fish in the winter months. There is no water here. SORRY

All fishing equipment is included in the price but you need to purchase your fishing license and pack some snacks and drinks for the day.

Join Windrift Sport Fishing for a Walleye adventure you’ll never forget!

Great Time!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on September 27, 20252 adults
We went on a morning 5 hour walleye charter and we had the BEST time! Capt. Doug was great and his first mate Ken was just as awesome. They are super knowledgeable in where to find the fish and what bait to use. I got to pick one out which was fun too! I was able to get my max of Walleye and we caught a jumbo Perch. My husband reeled in 4 big walleye too. They cleaned the fish for us and made us feel welcome on their boat. Highly recommend this for beginners or novices. Such a good time.

What a fun morning we got to share an anniversary with two special people. The fishing was slow but we did put together a good box of fish. Thank you for fishing with Windrift sport fishing today.

It was a great experience. We have never fished the bay before and we all learned a lot. The captain was very helpful and we caught a lot of fish. We will definitely be back soon.
