The boat’s ample seating and spacious cabin make it a comfortable and family-friendly vessel that can accommodate up to 6 guests.
You’ll head down the Detroit River in search of delicious Walleye. This river is brimming with lots of fish and you’ll have a fair shot at the action, no matter your level of experience. Capt. Jon will provide as much assistance as you need and work tirelessly to put you on fish.
You’ll be provided with top-quality rods and reels, as well as lures and bait, so you can get the best experience while fishing. Capt. Jon will offer to clean and fillet your catch so you can reward yourself with a delicious meal after your trip.
Just remember to purchase your fishing license online, bring extra layers of clothing, and feel free to pack some snacks and beverages. Catchin Hell Charters will take care of the rest so you and your family can enjoy a productive day of fishing and create lasting memories on the Detroit River!

The Captain and crew(wife😊) were friendly, professional and worked very hard to make our trip a complete success. The boat and fishing equipment were first class. Even if we hadn't caught our limit the real value of this charter was the total experience! WE HAD FUN and it was well worth the value we received. Exceeded our expectations!

Captain Jon was on top of it. We were catching fish while others struggled. He really knows what hes doing and a super nice guy.

Capt. John provides a comfortable, friendly and professional fishing experience. He is a 'hands off' guy that allows you to figure it out on your own while providing some helpful tips along the way. He put us on fish and kept us on fish the entire afternoon. His boat layout is accommodating for our group of 6 with plenty of room to maneuver within the boat. Our group had an incredible afternoon and would absolutely recommend him to anyone. Thank you Capt. John and to your girlfriend/first mate who joined us for the day to assist with the netting. A great time was had by all!

We chartered with catching hell for 2 days. First day was high 30's. We caught 26 walleye. Jon is a great and knowledgeable captain. The second day was mid 70's and windy. We battled it out and caught more fish. 2 days in row had a decent haul.
