Spend the day with Reel Adventures Sportfishing and find out what fishing in the Detroit River and Lake Erie is all about!

Captain Kevin specializes in catching Walleye. It's the Walleye capital of the world, after all! For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light tackle. Test your skills at bottom jigging for big Walleye in April and May or trolling on Lake Erie in June and July. When the water gets too warm, the fish go to deeper water but come back in October for great fall fishing. Any Walleye within the legal limit is yours to keep.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. It's recommended to bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Capt. Kevin welcomes you aboard a 22' Pontoon that holds up to 6 passengers. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself. Before coming aboard, you may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

Awesome Outing
Half Day Trip on May 18, 20246 adults

Captain Kevin sets the Standard for the fishing charter adventure. He was prompt, his boat was just right for the team, clean, very comfortable. Captain Kevin was very accommodating, very determined for us to catch a nice amount of Silver Bass. I shared the experience with my son, grandson and three nephews. This was a first time outing on the Detroit River for three of my nephews and my son and grandson during the silver bass run. Overall an exceptional experience. Thank You Captain Kevin and FishBooker.

Arlester and crew, you were a great team. It took some work to figure out what the fish wanted but we did and had a great time. I enjoyed the trip and hope you come back for another adventure!

Capt Kevin was the best!
Half Day Trip on June 27, 20242 adults

We had a ball. We caught 10 fish total. 9 walleye and 1 perch, to keep. Several small "bait stealers" and a few Drums that we threw back. The weather was good over all. The boat was clean. The equipment well maintained. Kevin was right on top of everything. He noticed any time we had a fish on the line and helped when we needed him. I could go on and on, but to make it short ill just say We fully intend to go with him again next time we're in the area.

HALF DAY TRIP WITH CAPTAIN KEVIN - REALLY ENJOYED IT
Half Day Trip on May 6, 20236 adults

We had a great time with Captain Kevin, Jigging the Detroit river for fishing for Walleye just this past weekend. Six of us went, and the boat was very roomy, and stable, on the river. The boat was well equipment for fishing & safety. We really enjoyed our time with Captain Kevin, sharing his fishing experience with us, fishing for Walleye. We caught few Walleyes, and really enjoyed time on the river. The weather was just perfect, nice and sunny, the water was calm, and temperature was just right. We are planning on going again, with Captain Kevin, and I really recommend him for others. It was a very good fishing trip with Kevin to enjoy time with friends & family, and a trip to remember for many years. See pictures. INJ.

Captain goes the extra mile!
Half Day Trip on June 10, 20242 adults3 children

Kevin is a good captain and goes the extra mile. On our charter day it wasn't the best conditions and it was a slow start but we eventually found some to cooperate. He even went over our allotted time to make sure we caught all we could. I like the pontoon as it's very spacious and comfortable. We had 3 kids a long and he was patient with teaching them. He was very good on responding with any questions I had.

Response from Captain

Thank you for the kind review. It was a great adventure. It was fun watching the kids get so excited and so close to getting the master angler award. I hope to take you all again!

Amazing Charter!

I schedule this charter for me and 5 other friends, everything was amazing and Kevin made this trip wonderful, he is a very knowledgable captain, friendly and very helpful, we caught a lot of Walleyes in our trip, for sure I will contact him again. The rods and reels were really good quality (Shimanos and St croix)
