Ready to go fishing in Linwood? That's what West Coast Sportfishing is here for! With Captain Edward at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Walleye and more could be biting, depending on the time of year. For these species, you're likely to troll using light tackle.

Please note that this fishing trip is for guests aged 17 and older.

You'll be casting lines from a 31' sportfishing boat with space for 6 passengers. It has downriggers and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.

You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't leave home without bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Linwood for yourself with West Coast Sportfishing!

Capt. Ed runs trips out of Linwood aboard a 31' Tiara. This area is known for Walleye, and you'll get to catch them using trolling, jigging, or other techniques. The Michigan DNR estimates that 15 million Walleye inhabit Saginaw Bay!
