Bring a personal cooler and spend your day on the Saginaw Bay filling it with some of the freshest fillets you’ll ever get your hands on! Welcome to Dietrich’s Sportfishing Charters where the motto is “Kids Welcome, Adults Tolerated”… Ha! Captain Shane Dietrich brings 25 years of family friendly charter experience to every trip, anglers of all skill levels are welcome aboard! Docked in the heart of Bay City, Michigan, Captain Shane has access to Saginaw Bay’s world class walleye fishery. Capt. Shane started fishing the Saginaw Bay and its tributaries with his father from an early age, it’s what sparked his passion for the outdoors! Seasoned anglers and newcomers alike will benefit from the enthusiasm Capt. Shane brings to every trip. Leave your worries at the dock and step aboard Dietrich’s Sportfishing Charter’s 28ft Cherokee with enough room to comfortably accommodate 6 anglers. She’s powered by duel 270hp Crusader engines that’ll quickly get you to and from the fishing grounds. Onboard you’ll find a range of fish finding equipment, giving you every advantage while you’re on the water! The price for your action packed day on Saginaw Bay includes all of the fishing tackle you’ll need for a successful trip. A seasoned first mate will join your group in the cockpit to help manage the lines, and to make sure everyone on board is feeling comfortable and confident. All you need to bring is a valid fishing license, any drinks or snacks you may want, and an eager attitude! Once you get back to the dock, the Dietrich Sportfishing Charter team will clean and fillet the day’s catch for your group. 15-20% gratuity for the team is very much appreciated! Enough reading, it’s time to get out on the water! Captain Shane is eager to show you the unmatched fishing opportunities that the Saginaw Bay offers.

Half Day Trip - Walleye (PM)
My son and daughter visited us this week. They each have 2 boys between 10 and 13. Three years ago, each family visited us and I booked charter fishing trips with Captain Shane for them. When we planned their visits this year, their first request was to charter a fishing trip again with Captain Shane. Captain Shane has many years of experience with fishing in the Saginaw Bay. He knows exactly where to find walleye. As soon as he started putting the poles in the water, the fish started biting! We reached our limit on the first trip and caught 22 on the second trip when we asked to come in because a couple of our party were feeling queasy. We could have easily caught our limit that day, too. Captain Shane is extremely patient with kids and ensures that they have a great time by letting them reel in all the fish that we caught. Although Captain Shane does most of the work, he found ways to involve the boys and teach them anything that they were interested in learning. After we got back to the dock, Captain Shane showed my daughter how to filet the fish as he fileted all 22 in no time. He also shared his favorite walleye recipes. We tried one that night that we enjoyed very much. We all loved the charters so much, we are already planning next year’s trip with Captain Shane.

Half Day Trip – Walleye (AM)
We had a great time for our half day of fishing. We caught many walleye and one 8 pound catfish (to the surprise of Captain Shane). Captain Shane was frustrated that we couldn’t come up with more bites even though they showed up on the fish finder. We were satisfied with our catch of fish and Shane was fast at cleaning them and putting in ziplocks for us. Now the next day we have eaten many filets and they are wonderful. Shane was patient with my 2 grandsons and this they said they would remember for a long time. Thanks for a fun filled day.
