Always wanted to come face-to-gills with that feisty freshwater beast, the Musky? Or maybe you want to take your family out on an adventure to catch some tasty table fare? Come aboard Mainstream Fishing Charters, where you’ll get the chance to experience the world-famous fisheries of Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie, as well as Southwest Ontario’s local creeks, marshes, and canals that are just full to the brim with incredible species!

Captain David Weil is at the helm of this charter, and he’s the perfect companion when it comes exploring these fantastic fishing grounds – he’s been fishing the Great Lakes since his early childhood, after all. He uses his years of local knowledge to provide top-notch freshwater adventures for anglers of all ages and abilities. Whether you want fast-paced, hardcore angling action, or a fun family day out on the lake, he’s got you covered.

You’ll be traveling on your captain’s 26’ Penn Yan flybridge vessel, built to transport up to 6 guests out to the hot spots – plenty of room for the whole family, or bring along your best angling buddies for the fishing competition of a lifetime! She’s decked out with a private toilet, GPS and fishfinder, life jackets in a variety of sizes, and a flybridge. There’s plenty of room on board for your favorite snacks and drinks, too, so bring them along.

Capt. David targets some of the best freshwater fisheries around, so you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to the species on offer. Want plenty of hands-on action? Get ready to chase Musky and test your skills against this freshwater favorite. Want to reel in something tasty to take home for supper? Head to Lake Erie, often called “the Walleye capital of the world!” Capt. David will fillet your catch for you for a small cost. Other species on offer include Perch, Steelhead, and Large and Smallmouth Bass.

Your trip includes rods, reels, tackle, and lures. Grab a fishing license and get ready to make some memories with Mainstream Fishing Charters!

Lake St. Clair Musky – Weekend

Great Experience

VERIFIED

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!

Lake Erie Walleye weekend AM

Great walleye fishing!!!

VERIFIED

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!

Your grandson took a shit and used paper towel to wipe and clogged the toilet. When you kept trying to pump it you broke the seal in the pump and piss leaked out. The boat was clean prior to your crew getting on. Had a great time cleaning it up the smell was fantastic. 5 man limit of walleyes and a 28.5 incher crew looks pretty happy in the picture!
