Northern Michigan's Walleye Charter — 40 Years on the Water
Half & full day charters across Michigan's finest walleye lakes. Call Captain Curt and let's talk fishing.
Four Decades of Chasing Walleye on Michigan Water
Curt Krajniak has spent over 40 years learning the lakes of Northern Michigan — where the walleye run, how the weather moves them, and what it takes to put a boat on fish trip after trip. That kind of knowledge doesn't come from a guidebook. It comes from four decades of showing up.
Curt has competed for two seasons on the Michigan Walleye Tour and is a National Team Championship competitor, backing up decades of experience with tournament-level results. He's also an active member of three local fishing clubs, staying connected to the anglers and the water year-round.
From the inland lakes around Burt, Mullet, and Black to the open water of Saginaw Bay and Thunder Bay, Curt knows how to read each system and adjust — trolling one day, casting the next, always working the electronics to find where the fish are holding.
Every trip is built to be a learning experience. Whether you've fished walleye your whole life or you're bringing kids out for the first time, Curt walks you through what's happening on the water and why — so you leave with more than a cooler.
