Saginaw BayFishing Adventures

Your guide to charter fishing in Au Gres, Tawas, and Standish.

Stay Close to the Action

Fishing charters operate throughout the Au Gres, Tawas, and Saginaw Bay area during the warmer months, with schedules and target species varying by captain. After your trip, return to the comfort of a full cabin rather than a hotel room. It provides a practical home base for anglers, families, and groups planning time on the water.
