Trolling 101: Your Key to Success

If you've never tried trolling before, you're in for a treat. It's the go-to method for targeting walleye in Saginaw Bay, and it's a blast once you get the hang of it. We'll set up a spread of lines behind the boat, each one rigged with lures that walleye can't resist. As we cruise at just the right speed, those lures dance through the water, mimicking baitfish and triggering strikes. You'll learn how to watch for subtle changes in the rod tips that signal a bite, and when to spring into action. Don't worry if you're new to this – our guides will walk you through every step, from setting the hook to netting your catch. Before you know it, you'll be swapping fish stories with the best of them!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye: These golden-eyed beauties are the crown jewels of Saginaw Bay. Known for their tasty white fillets, walleye put up a great fight and can grow to impressive sizes here. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but summer can be red-hot too. We target them in 15-30 feet of water, often around structure or drop-offs. When a big 'eye hits your line, you'll feel that distinctive head shake – it's a rush every angler lives for!

Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you; these feisty little fighters are a blast to catch and even better to eat. Saginaw Bay is famous for its "jumbo" perch, which can reach a pound or more. We usually find them schooled up near the bottom, and when you hit a hot spot, it's non-stop action. Perch fishing is especially good in late summer and fall, but we catch them year-round. Kids love reeling these in, and trust me, there's nothing like a fresh perch fry after a day on the water.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Saginaw Bay isn't just another fishing spot – it's a walleye and perch paradise that keeps anglers coming back year after year. The sheer numbers of fish here are staggering, and the potential for trophy catches is always there. But it's not just about the fish. It's about the thrill of being on the open water, watching the sun rise over the bay, and sharing laughs with friends and family. Our guests rave about the personalized attention they get from our guides, who are just as passionate about fishing as you are. By the end of the day, you'll have a cooler full of fish, a head full of new knowledge, and maybe even a new fishing buddy in your guide.
