Expert-Guided Walleye Fishing on Michigan Lakes

Reel in Trophy Walleye on Michigan's Twin Lakes

Get ready to chase some serious walleye on this private 6-hour fishing trip with River Chasing Guide Service. We'll be hitting Lake Cadillac and Lake Mitchell, two of Michigan's best-kept secrets for monster walleye. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, our expert guides will put you on the fish and show you the ropes of these legendary waters.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll kick things off bright and early at 8 AM, giving us prime time on the water when the walleye are most active. Our trips run from April 26 to August 1, which means you're fishing during the peak walleye season. We provide all the gear you need - rods, reels, and the hottest lures that the walleye can't resist. Just bring your Michigan fishing license, some grub, and your game face. With room for two anglers (and the option to add a third for a small fee), you'll have plenty of elbow room to work those rods and reel in the big ones.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

On these twin lakes, we use a mix of trolling and jigging to target walleye. We'll likely start by slow-trolling with bottom bouncers and crawler harnesses, a killer method for covering water and finding active fish. When we locate a school, we might switch to vertical jigging with minnows or plastics. Our guides know every hump, drop-off, and weed line where the walleye like to hang out. We'll teach you how to read the fish finder, present your bait just right, and set the hook when you feel that telltale 'tap-tap' of a walleye strike.

Top Catches This Season

While we don't have specific customer reviews for this trip yet, anglers on our other Michigan walleye tours have been hauling in some impressive catches. Many guests are landing their personal best walleye, with several fish in the 25-28 inch range hitting the boat. The twin lakes of Cadillac and Mitchell are known for consistently producing quality walleye, so get ready to snap some brag-worthy photos!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye: The star of the show, walleye in Lake Cadillac and Lake Mitchell typically range from 15 to 25 inches, with trophy fish pushing 30 inches or more. These golden-eyed predators are most active during low light conditions, which is why we start early. Walleye are prized for their delicious, flaky white meat, making them one of the most sought-after game fish in the Midwest. The challenge of finding and catching these sometimes finicky eaters is what keeps anglers coming back for more.

Northern Pike: While we're primarily targeting walleye, don't be surprised if a toothy northern pike crashes the party. These aggressive predators can grow to impressive sizes in these lakes, with some stretching over 40 inches. Pike offer an exciting fight and are often caught while using walleye tactics. Their serpentine bodies and razor-sharp teeth make for a thrilling catch, especially when they hit hard and fast on a slow-trolled bait.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Our twin lake walleye trips are quickly becoming a customer favorite, and it's easy to see why. The combination of two diverse lakes gives us plenty of options to find active fish, no matter the conditions. Lake Cadillac offers 1,150 acres of fishing grounds, while Lake Mitchell adds another 2,580 acres to explore. This means we can always find a productive spot, whether it's working the weed edges, trolling the deeper basins, or targeting the narrows between the lakes where walleye often stack up.

Plus, the scenery ain't too shabby either. You'll be surrounded by pristine Michigan forests, with a good chance of spotting bald eagles, ospreys, and other wildlife while we're on the water. It's the perfect backdrop for a day of serious fishing.
