Third Coast Charter Detroit

Running angling trips out of Grosse Ile Township, Third Coast Charters invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Come on aboard with Capt. Todd, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, ice fishing, jigging, and spinning, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 5 to 6-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Walleye, Salmon, Pike, Perch, Lake Trout, and Brown Trout, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

Your adventure begins on board a 22’ Lund boat that can fit a maximum of 6 anglers. The boat is fitted with a 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. Don’t forget to buy a fishing license before the trip! You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so.

Children are welcome aboard so you’re good to get the young ones started early.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Third Coast Charters.
