Walleye Frenzy
6 Hour–Saginaw Bay Ice Fishing (PM) on March 1, 2026 • 2 adults

I was worried during the day but once the sun went down, the walleye were on fire. We caught them back to back. I brought my cousin who is new to fishing and he caught the biggest one. These walleye were huge. Thanks Captain Michael for the whole experience!

    Started a family tradition with this trip. 3 generations of Sheas maxed out on walleye in Saginaw Bay. Somebody was reeling in a fish at any given point in time all day but it was a relaxed and easy mood. We will do it again next year for sure!

    We had a great time fishing with Captain Mike. He put us right on the fish and we were catching nice walleye throughout the afternoon until we were at our limit. Captain Mike was friendly and very knowledgeable. We would recommend Offshore A-count Sportfishing for your fishing charter.

    Everything was as I’d dreamed - from the snowmobile rides over the lake out to the fishing spot, to Mike’s professional knowledge, to the equipment and setup, to pulling walleye through the ice. 10/10 would recommend!
