Our location
Au Gres, Michigan
Based in little Au Gres, Michigan, we are about 2.5 hours north of Detroit. We typically fish out of the public boat launch on Main Street in Au Gres. We consider Saginaw Bay our home waters, but will travel to any port in the Saginaw Bay watershed (Standish, Linwood, Bay City, etc.) to meet your specific needs. Based on the particular season, walleye charters may be available in Houghton Lake, Detroit River, and Lake Erie. Just ask us for details and let us be your personalized fishing guide!
