Captn Doug Ward and The Walleye Xpress  are proud to welcome you to our adventure-fillled paradise in Augres, Mi.

Are you a beginner? Not a problem.

Maybe you're an experienced fisher person? Let's go!

We offer charters for all ages and skill levels. Jump aboard!

Whether you're looking for an electronics and "how do we do it" teaching-style charter, or a hands-on, rod setting, fish netting charter, or maybe just a sit back and relax and reel em' in trip, The Walleye Xpress with Captn Doug is the charter you're looking for!

Captn Doug has fished for over 50 years now. He keeps detailed logs of every trip! Finding fish due to times of the year, weather conditions, water temps, etc is usually not an issue.

Thanks to Pops, he grew up salmon and trout fishing on the Great Lakes. Later on he migrated to bass fishing and the tournament scene. On the tournament trails he earned his way to national tournaments and anglers of the year in a few local trails while team fishing.  We've been fishing the bay for 16 years now and the Detroit River on and off since 2007.

Your Captain is a retired Career and Tech Center Machining Instructor with 21 years of experience teaching hands-on style processes. Prior to that he was in Industry for 12 years chasing tools and programs for the automotive, medical, and consumer sectors. A Ferris State University Plastics Engineering Tech grad, he's always looking for new innovative ways to push the envelope with electronics, baits, and tactics! That'll be evident once you come aboard The Walleye Xpress.
