Great trip

3/4 Day Trip (AM)4 adults

Had issues with the captain Doug’s boat while leaving the dock, but he was able to find us another captain that did not have a charter booked for that morning that would take us out so we were still able to fish. Thank you Doug from Windrift, and thank you Greg from kingeyes charter fishing for the great day

Yes there was a last minute problems with the boat. But with a little moving around. We put together another boat and Captain and I first mated it. We give the group a good time with a lot of fish. Thank you for being understanding.And thank’s to Kingeye Charters

    6-14-26 walleye Charter

    3/4 Day Trip (PM) • 4 adults

    Here is a balanced and helpful review you can post: ## Great Day on the Water with Wind Drift Charters! **Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) We had a solid day out with Wind Drift Charters! Despite the elements fighting against us, the crew worked incredibly hard to make sure we had a successful trip. ### The Good: * **The Catch:** We ended up bringing home **18 walleye**! We easily had several more on the hook that unfortunately got off right at the boat, so the action was definitely there. * **The Crew:** The first mate was absolutely fantastic—attentive, quick, and kept things moving. The captain was highly professional, friendly, and clearly knew where the fish were hiding. ### The Not-So-Good: * **Weather & Scheduling:** The only real downsides to the experience were some scheduling issues leading up to the trip and some rough weather on the day of. Mother Nature didn't want to cooperate, which made things a bit challenging. **Final Verdict:** Even with the scheduling hiccups and choppy weather, the crew's professionalism and the excellent catch rate made this a great charter. I’d definitely fish with Wind Drift again!

    Reported Catch

    Response from Captain

    Yes the weather was definitely against us. The fish was picking at the baits and in the end we lost some fish. The guys was fun and a good group to fish with. Hope to have you on the Windrift Charter’s again soon.

    GREAT charter and experience

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Capt Doug and Ken made the outing a great experience. We were a party of 5 with two dads and 3 teenage sons. Unlike previous charters we have taken Capt Doug not only knew where the bite was he wasn't afraid to ensure we were the first boat set up in the area! Equipment and tackle were high quality and Ken got everyone going with ease....even "chicken wing"! Would highly recommend "Windrift" to future anglers hoping to experience Walleye fishing at its finest!

    Fun Day Fishing on the Bay!

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Wow, what a great trip we had! Doug and Ken are super knowledgeable about catching Walleye and we learned so much, and caught just shy of our limit! The boat was extremely nice, and clean, and the equipment was top notch and worked really well! The guys had just received a brand new type of lure that we used and had great success with it! We will definitely be coming back to fish with them next year!! Highly recommend! Thanks guys!

    Great Experience

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Despite less than perfect conditions and changing weather, Captain Doug and First Mate Ken found the fish and techniques needed to fill the cooler with several very nice fish. The were both very knowledgeable, friendly and GREAT with the kids. I will be recommending Windrift to all my fishing friends.

    Response from Captain

    What a fun day with the kids. They was very good on the reels.
