Captain
William (Randy) Bailey

Member since January 2021 Linwood, United States
Background
Captain William has been fishing the Great Lakes of Michigan for 30 years. On his boat, you get a choice to set back, enjoy the moments, and reel in the fish, or the captain can show you how to set lines and teach you why you are doing what you are doing to catch fish. You can net each other fish.
Techniques
Captain William mainly trolls the water for Walleye here on the Saginaw Bay. He also does Salmon charters on Lake Michigan starting in early April to mid-May and then again in August out of Manistee, Michigan.
