Detroit River Charters Chromeseeker

Captain Dan Stewart invite you to wonderful river trips in Detroit, Michigan. Captain Dan is a lifelong angler who welcomes everybody, from complete beginners to seasoned anglers. Join him and have a great time fishing while enjoying nature in Michigan.

Captain Dan uses a 24’ Hewescraft Ocean Pro fishing boat that’s powered by a 250 HP Suzuki engine. It’s got enough space for up to 6 guests and is equipped with GPS, a heater, fishfinder, and radio communication systems which help you get to the fish safely and fast.

You and Captain Dan will have an exciting time chasing the local bounty – Walleye. The captain is an expert in jigging and if you’re new to the world of fishing, he’ll teach you everything you need to know so you can start targeting fish yourself. And if you already have some experience, he’ll be happy to have you perfect your skills. You can keep all the fish you catch and take it home so you can have some meals. If you just want to catch it and release it back to the water, that’s fine as well.

Five people max for jigging the Detroit River.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price. The captain can also clean and fillet your catch at the end of the trip, although he would be grateful if you gave him a tip. Pack your licenses, favorite food, and drinks, and you’re all set for the journey. A Canadian license is needed for the Detroit River.

Pay a visit to Chromeseekers and enjoy the Walleye fishery that Michigan has to offer.

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Captain Dan Stewart has been fishing for as long as he can remember. From SE Michigan to NW Michigan, we have a boat for everything. As a result, he knows all the hiding spots for favorites including Steelhead, Chinook, Coho Salmon and walleye throughout the state of Michigan. He'll easily accommodate both experienced anglers and novices and looks forward to giving his guests a welcome escape to nature. You will have such a great time with Captain Dan that you will be booking other trips the rest of the year around the great state of Michigan. My season starts in the Nw for Steelhead. In Mid April I move to the Detroit River for walleye. In May I move to the St Clair river for walleye. When Lake St Clair heats up I move over there. Around Mid June I end the walleye fishing and move back to the Nw chasing a variety of fish. We fish crystal lake and all other inland lakes near by. We are also fishing Lake Michigan for Salmon and Trout. We follow the salmon up river then back to steelhe

Black worms andnother dark body baits are your best bet right now. Lots of walleye to be caught if your verticak and on the bottom. Candian waters are fishing better so make sure you have your canadian license. If you are looking to get on the Detroit river and do not have a boat, feel free to reach out to me. Good Luck Captain Dan Stewart
