6 Hour–Saginaw Bay Ice Fishing (AM) on February 21, 2025
Great guide that got us on and off the ice safely. All of the equipment was good and up to date and had no issues with anything. It was a fun day of hanging with the boys on the bay and will likely be back.

6 Hour–Saginaw Bay Ice Fishing (PM) on February 14, 2025
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!

6 Hour–Saginaw Bay Ice Fishing (AM) on February 22, 2025
Four novice anglers tried ice fishing. No preparation was needed other than to prepare for the cold, and the fishing was comfortable in the tent. There were not many fish, but the captain gave us what we needed and e we could at least catch a walleye.

6 Hour – Saginaw Bay Walleye (PM) on July 16, 2024
My son and I had a wonderful experience fishing with Captain Mike Smith. He put us on fish immediately and tended the rods the most efficiently I have witnessed. His Warrior boat was extremely comfortable. Limited both days. What a terrific charter captain. Thanks Mike.
