    100% recommend him for fishing!

    8 Hour Trip on July 12, 2025 • 3 adults

    Bill was very kind to me and my girls, he told us everything we needed to know and offered us everything we needed. As we are talking to him we started to see how down to earth he is and how much he respects other fishers and people. He helped us catch our limit since he knows the lake and the fish like no one I’ve ever seen! All in all a great experience and I will be coming back in the future!

    Fishing with Captain Horton

    8 Hour Trip on June 4, 2024 • 2 adults

    We had our first experience walleye fishing with captain bill on his beautiful boat. He knew right where to go, he set up the rods so we had many lines out and he was helpful reeling them in. We had our days catch before noon, he cleaned and filleted our 24 fish and gave us time to vacuum pack our fish on ice for our long drive home. Definitely 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    An Adventure for Us

    8 Hour Trip on July 8, 2023 • 2 adults

    My wife and I had not fished anywhere since we were children (we're in our 60s). And neither of us had ever been out on Saginaw Bay. Captain Horton made sure that we were comfortable and was very patient with us. The weather was less than great but he still helped us to enjoy the entire trip. And, of course we caught nearly our limit of Walleye. Afterward he cleaned all of the fish for us, and even gave us some from his own freezer to be sure that we did indeed go home with our full limit for the day. It was terrific and very memorable. We both said that we would certainly do this again. Highly recommended.
