Great Experience
Lake St. Clair Musky – Weekend on October 20, 20243 adults1 child

My son and his friend mowed lawns all Summer so they could save up to go on a fishing trip. After extensive research, they chose Mainstream Fishing Charters and we were so happy they did. Our experience was excellent. The captain provided excellent communication about our trip in the week before and was on time and ready to go when we got there. He was keen to share his years of experience and expertise with us and the boys. In the end, both boys caught a big Muskie - exactly what we were hoping for. We would definitely book with Mainstream again. Thanks, Captain David!

Muskellunge (Musky)

Great walleye fishing!!!
Lake Erie Walleye weekend AM on May 26, 20242 adults

My dad and I were itching to go fishing and decided to go with Captain David! His focus, speed, and determination is impressive. His knowledge is extensive, he had every answer to my curiosities. We went home with 11 Walleyes, he tried real hard to get the goal of 12, but my father needed to tap out. Otherwise, he would have stayed working for the last Walleye until the very last minute. We are going with Captain David again in June, you should book with Mainstream Fishing Charters!

Thank you very much for the kind words! I'm glad you two had a great time! That wind was not kind to us today. Looking forward to Bass fishing in June!

Half day trip with captain Dave.
Lake Erie Walleye weekend AM on August 13, 20236 adults

Captain Dave was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we stepped foot on the boat till the time we got back he was working his ass off. We caught our limit with 5hrs of dropping the first line. He couldn't even set up all the lines before the fish started hitting and twice we had multiple fish on. He's super knowledgeable and gave us pointers and tricks when fishing alone. Overall our experience was anmazing and would highly recommend using this charter. Thanks again Dave our catch was delicious!!!!

Reported catch:
Walleye
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
Smallmouth Bass

It all started at Capt. David Weil's grandfather's farm pond...within minutes he caught his first fish, a Largemouth Bass, and he was hooked! Since the early age of 6, Capt. David has developed and grown an extreme passion for the sport of fishing. He's been fishing the Great Lakes since his early childhood, and has had the pleasure of fishing and guiding on the Great Lakes, as well as many lakes throughout NW Ontario. He also has many hours of tournament experience fishing local tournaments, like Musky's Canada Belle river chapter opener and closer events, Big Boys Derby, Lasalle Walleye Classic and a few others. Capt. David is driven to ensure success every time he sets sail on the water, and we ensure you that you are in good hands!
