Your guide Connor Barr will take you out on his 2023 caymas dv22.

Jigging, trolling, casting, whipping, and still fishing are the methods that are used and Connor is happy to show you the ropes if you're not proficient in any of them. The conditions and effective practice for the time of year will dictate how you fish to provide the best results. Smallmouth Bass, Musky, Sturgeon, and Walleye are all waiting for you to reel in!

All fishing trips are fully guided and equipped the only thing anglers are responsible for is the license, weather-appropriate clothing, and snacks/ drinks (no alcohol please). The license should be purchased before the trip ($26 for inner state and $30 for outer state 72h license) 28 for Canadian license where required

Captain Connor takes great pride in his company, his boat, and his ability to put you on the fish. If you're a beginner, don't worry, Connor enjoys teaching people and introducing new anglers young and old to the sport.

    Unless you personally get Bear Grilles to take you out fishing, im not sure you can get a more authentic experience. Captain is a true outdoors man and has extensive knowledge and experience which not only makes for great fishing but also great conversation.

    Multiple trips with Captain Conner and Cooper

    Whipping for Walleye on December 31, 2019

    Fished multiple times with Captain Conner and his First Mate Cooper during the 2019 season. Sturgeon and walleye Whipping. I grew up on Lake St Clair and have fished my whole life. I took friends with me that have never caught Walleye and my Son who doesn’t fish at all (how did that happen?) on the different trips. Captain Connor was patient with everyone and everyone had a great time. He not only puts you on fish but explains how and where to catch fish. I have already booked for 2020 and am looking forward to another great season.

    1/2 day Walleye trip

    Trolling (multiple bodies) on March 21, 2020

    Had an excellent experience fishing with Connor on Dream Catcher Charters. From top notch equipment, boat, and overall multiple species knowledge. Went trolling for walleye, caught a 3 man limit (18)of dandy size walleye in a short period of time, along with small mouth bass and a bonus 20lb Muskie. Super nice helpful guy glad to help any beginner. Definitely has a passion for what he does and it shows.

I started fishing at 3 years old with my dad and my love for the outdoors took off from there. Even during my time in the service, I would find a way to fish and hunt wherever I could. To say I live and breathe the outdoors is an understatement. Finally, after years of hesitation, I started Dream Catchers Charters in the spring of 2019 and it's been an amazing journey since then. On every trip, I see it as an opportunity to earn someone's business and make them feel like they got an experience they won't soon forget.
