Windrift Charters

3/4 Day Trip (AM)4 adults

Our group of four chartered with Captain Doug/Windrift Charters on 05/15/21. Weather was fantastic allowing for great boating, We started the day with a 18 mile run proving the captain is willing to get you where the fish are! The “Windrift” while being a aged boat was found to be sound with comfortable seating, modern auto pilot and electronics, showing plenty of get up and go for the type of craft she is. Captain Doug was found to be friendly and personable and a true fisherman with providing the best trip possible his priority. First mate Ron, while being a quiet guy WORKED HARD staying on top the rods and is a pro, one of the best mates I’ve fished with. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Windrift charters!

Response from Captain

Timothy and his group was a very good and fun group to fish with we had a lot of fun and would like to fish with them again. They are a professional group on the rods they did great. They was ready when the fish hit. Thank you for fishing with Ron and I on the Windrift Charter’s. Captain Doug

    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
    Walleye
    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 time

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    We had a great time. Weather was perfect. Caught some nice walleye and perch. Captain Dave and first mate were amazing to fish with. Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. We will definitely book another trip with them in the spring. I highly recommend them.

    It was a hard day fishing. With the wind we could not get to were we wanted to fish. But we did get some walleye’s and perch. It was fun fishing with John and his group. Look forward fishing with you again.

    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.
