Fishing The Detroit River And Lake
Fishing The Detroit River And Lake
Come and enjoy the Detroit River's impressive fishing! This is where you can catch Walleyes all year long and also experience some of the world's best Bass fishing. Captain Nick Homayed has been guiding fishing trips and participating in tournaments for over 25 years. If you're looking for an experienced guide with lots of knowledge to pass on – Capt. Nick is your guy!
The boat you'll be fishing from is a 23' Panga marine, built in 2017. This bay boat goes smoothly and can easily access shallow waters. There's enough room for 5 guests to fish at the same time. She's equipped with necessary safety gear, downriggers, a live bait tank, an ice box, and various navigational equipment.
Your targets for the day will be various freshwater species, such as Walleye, Bass, Catfish, Musky, and Sturgeon. Depending on what you want to catch or what's the best option for the given situation, you'll be trying out different techniques: bottom fishing, jigging, trolling, spinning, or light tackle.
Make sure to purchase your fishing license for the day. Capt. Nick will prepare your fishing equipment and make sure there's fresh live bait ready before the trip starts. You need to bring your snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and proper clothing. Catch cleaning is available for an extra fee.
Kids of all ages are welcome, so don't hesitate to bring your young ones along. Capt. Nick is very patient and he'll show the basics to anyone who's interested.
Relax, fish, and enjoy.

Boat was a bit small for 4 full size passengers along with Mo and Nick. There was one seat for that 2 of us shared while my sons say on coolers. Captain Nick and Mo were very friendly. I was hoping.to learn a bit about how to fish and the different methods. This was a nice boat ride where we reeled in fish when they bit. They were not biting, but the captain did his best. We came away with 10 fish between the four of us . It was a beautiful day to be on the water. It was enjoyable but if you want fish, go in the morning and get a Canadian license.(We were only advised to get a Mi license prior to the trip)
Had to bring in more help for this trip but all in all it turned out ok. Did get a four pound small mouth That was great. Still enjoyed tge time with you guys.
Captain Nick and son NJ were so attentive and kind! I surprised my son with this trip for his 6th birthday and I am so blessed that I chose them! They are SO great with kids and made this experience so exciting for him! We caught so many fish!!! My son had one wish.. to catch a catfish and they made sure that happened! I cannot thank them enough for the memories we will cherish forever! Thank you again you both rock!
What a great time. Jr. right out the gate was comfortable. He reeled in fish all morning long and was so excited for every fish. When he grabbed a rod he would toss his sunglasses, so cool.Next year same place same time will have more fun. Thanks for a amazing review. 👍👍👍👍
Captain Nick and NJ were awesome. Took my son, dad, and father-in-law on a 5 hour trip. We probably caught 50 fish. Walleye, small mouth, catfish, drum, and white perch. Super fun. They were great with my 9 year old and my 74 year old!
crazy morning with all them fishing bitting at the same time. you giys are always welcome back and i hipe lunch was good. 👍👍👍
This was an absolutely amazing experience. Captain Nick and his son Nick JR were great. Brought our 5 year old son and they were amazing with him showing him the graphs how to fish and making sure he was included and catching all the fish he could the entire trip! He is already asking to go back for his birthday this year! Cant recommend them enough! Already planning our next trip with them!
Thanks again you guys did great right out the gate. cant wait to see you guys back again. The kid was amazing.
Captain Nick and his first mate Nick Jr. were great hosts. They put us right on the fish and we caught fish all day long. We were able to hit our limit and had lots of fun cutting up with the crew. I would recommend this trip for anyone coming to the area the captain was top notch and we had a blast. Caught many walleye, small mouth, and even caught a muskee.
I knew it was going to be a great morning when chris said we canceled on another captain to be with you guys. 😜 after the first five minutes these two guys ran all the rods and baited all the hooks. We lost a monster sturgeon, will blame the first maye for that.🤣🤣 These guys will be back next april for the trophy walleys. The trip is always good when you have to go to walmarts to get a cooler for the catch. See you next spring or whenever your back in town for work. Will make it happen. 👍👍👍👍
