    Beautiful evening on the water!

    Half Day Walleye- Evening on July 30, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had an absolutely wonderful time on our fishing trip with Capt. Anthony! It was a special night on the water with my dad and my grandmother, and Capt. Anthony made it an experience we’ll always remember. We caught 12 walleye and had a beautiful evening out on the water. Capt. Anthony took us to two different spots, knew exactly where to go, and was patient and helpful throughout the entire trip. The fishing was great, the scenery was beautiful, and most importantly, we got to spend quality time together as a family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Capt. Anthony to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and successful fishing trip!

    Great Saginaw Bay Walleye Trip

    Half Day Walleye- Evening on August 11, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Anthony made the overall experience very enjoyable. He really likes to fish and wants to be sure everyone is having a good time fishing. We kept 15 walleye and a catfish. We hooked up another 7 or 8 fish that came off before they got to the boat. He did a nice filleting all of the fish for us to take home.We plan to go again.

    Nice afternoon on the bay!

    Half Day Walleye- Evening on July 31, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Fished two different spots even though the bite wasn't the greatest landed 7 keepers and three released! Captain knew where to find them! He was also great with our kids letting them help set out lines and reel in if they wanted to remove weeds! Overall a nice half day evening on the water. Would book again!

    Captain Anthony kept a close eye on the weather for us and said it was a good day to go, so we did. We literally were the only boat on the lake! 1 foot waves, overcast skies, a perfect day for fishing. We limited out! Captain Anthony was a pleasure to fish with, and we'll go with him again.
