Featured on Michigan Out of Doors TV and Mike Avery’s Outdoor Podcast.  Captain Z uses the Latest Garmin Livescope to guide you on the Detroit River for trophy Walleye, Small Mouth and Perch. 

Captain Z is here to get you on fish and to make sure you have fun doing it. You’ll be using techniques like Jigging, bottom bouncing, trolling, and casting depending on what you’re going after.

As part of their 5-hour trips, you can target Walleye or choose a multi-species outing and also target Bass, Musky, Perch, and Catfish, depending on the current season and weather conditions.

Your adventure begins on board a 21’ Polar Craft boat that can fit a maximum of 4 anglers. The boat is fitted with an ice box and wireless trolling motor. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water.

Please keep in mind you’ll need to get a Michigan and Canadian fishing license before the start of the trip. You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.

This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.
