Trophy Walleye on the Detroit River

Detroit River Walleye

Spring on the Detroit River offers some of the best walleye fishing in the country. In the months of April and May the river becomes inundated with spawning walleye. This creates a fantastic fishery for both numbers of walleye and the chance to catch a trophy fish. Vertical jigging is the name of the game.  Whether you are experienced in vertical jigging or not, Captain Dean will take the time to instruct you on the basics.  If you are experienced, he will surely have a many tips to share. The fishing can be both in Michigan and Canadian waters.  Possessing a license for both jurisdictions will be key some days to the best fishing.

Lake Erie Walleye

Lake Erie Walleye

Lake Erie is the king of walleye fishing, period. The walleye population is currently extremely high, and fishing is fantastic. June brings great fishing in the Michigan waters of Lake Erie. Charters leave from ports near Monroe, Michigan, and the fish are usually nearby.
 
In the fall and early winter, the Ohio ports near Sandusky offer a great opportunity to land a trophy fish. This area also is packed with large numbers of “eater” size fish. Book your trip today for a walleye fishing adventure to remember.

Family Fishing Fun

Kids / Family Charters

Late May on the Detroit River brings a massive run of silver bass that are easy to catch and fight well for their size. This is a great time to book a family fishing trip or use this as an opportunity to teach kids.  Young anglers will be pleased with an opportunity to catch a fish almost every cast. Adults will also delight in this, and experienced anglers can catch hundreds of fish each on the trip. If you have never experienced this bite it is not to be missed.

Educational Charters

Where do you go to get information on new techniques and advanced usage of marine electronics?
