Spend the day with Detroit River Walleye Fishing and let them show you what makes the fishing in Detroit so memorable!

These waters are known for Walleye, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. You'll target your catch by trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Young ones are welcome, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

You'll be welcome aboard an 18' Lund aluminum fishing boat with a capacity for 3 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you will 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. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect. A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Detroit River Walleye Fishing and get hooked! Fishing during the fall walleye run. Some of the best fishing in the world.

I just wanted to thank you for being so knowledgeable and helpful while taking us through this experience. I will definitely say that I believe the main reason we enjoyed our trip was due to the way you were able to get us on fish while at the same time explaining anything in detail that we asked. We all truly had a blast!! We will definitely be booking again!

Me and my son had a great time with Billy. He was very friendly and worked with my son who wanted to try different fishing techniques. The weather and temperature was great to be out in the water, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We caught couple of big ones. Would definitely recommend Billy to others.

Pm walleye trip

At first the jig bite was slow and we only managed to land one walleye. But Captain Billy made the right call and switched us over to trolling, and it paid off big time. And we ended up with a solid haul of nice walleye and had a blast doing so! Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be doing again.
