Captain Keith Yaworski knows these waters like the back of his hand, and he's ready to put you on some serious walleye action in Saginaw Bay. This isn't your typical crowded charter boat experience – you're getting the whole 30-foot Pro-Line cabin cruiser to yourself and up to three buddies for five solid hours of fishing. With twin 200HP Yamaha engines pushing this beauty, you'll cover water fast and fish in comfort while Keith works his magic to put fish in the cooler. The best part? Everything's included except your Michigan fishing license, so you can focus on what matters most – hooking into some of the Great Lakes' finest walleye.
Your day starts when you meet Captain Keith at the dock, where his top-rated 30-foot cabin cruiser is prepped and ready to roll. This isn't some cramped fishing boat – you've got plenty of room to move around, comfortable seating, and protection from the elements when needed. Keith runs morning and afternoon trips Friday through Sunday, which gives you flexibility to pick the time that works best for your crew. The twin Yamaha 200s get you to the productive zones quickly, and once Keith finds the fish, you'll spend your time working proven walleye haunts across Saginaw Bay. The stable platform makes this trip perfect for anglers of all skill levels, from kids catching their first walleye to seasoned pros looking to fill the cooler. Keith handles all the navigation, fish location, and boat positioning – your job is simple: keep your rod tip up and enjoy the action.
Trolling is the name of the game on Saginaw Bay, and Keith's got it dialed in perfectly. You'll be pulling spinner rigs, crankbaits, and crawler harnesses at precise speeds and depths to trigger strikes from feeding walleye. The boat comes loaded with quality rods, reels, and a tackle box full of proven lures that Keith knows produce fish in these waters. He'll set the lines, adjust the speed, and monitor the electronics while teaching you how to read the subtle bites that walleye are famous for. The downriggers and planer boards spread your baits across a wide swath of water, increasing your chances of connecting with fish. Keith changes up colors, depths, and presentations based on what the fish want that day – sometimes they're aggressive and hit anything, other days you need to finesse them with specific colors or slower speeds. The beauty of this system is that even first-time anglers can be successful, while experienced fishermen will appreciate the technical aspects of reading sonar and adjusting presentations.
Walleye are the crown jewel of Saginaw Bay fishing, and for good reason. These golden-sided fighters typically run 2-4 pounds in these waters, with the occasional trophy pushing 6-8 pounds that'll make your drag scream. Spring and fall are prime time for walleye fishing here, when they're feeding heavily and grouped up in predictable locations. What makes walleye so special isn't just the fight – though they'll give you a good tussle – it's what happens after you land them. These fish are hands-down some of the best eating you'll find in freshwater, with firm, white, flaky meat that's perfect for the frying pan. Walleye have this sneaky bite that can fool beginners; they don't always slam the lure like a bass. Instead, you might feel a slight tick or notice your rod tip bouncing rhythmically. Keith will teach you to recognize these subtle strikes and set the hook at just the right moment. The abundance of walleye in Saginaw Bay means action throughout the trip, and it's not uncommon to boat dozens of fish during a productive outing. Whether you're targeting a fish fry or just want to experience some of Michigan's best fishing, walleye deliver on every front.
