Spend the day with Detroit River and/or lake St Clair Walleye / perch 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.

Great charter fishing trip!
Detroit River/ Lake St Clair (AM) on April 27, 20262 adults

My friend and I have taken many west michigan charter trips over the years. This was our first east michigan charter and we were not disappointed. The boat, Captain and equipment were first class. Learned a couple of fishing techniques we can use moving forward. Captain Billy put us on fish and allowed us to bait, retrieve, and land the fish. A great experience!!

Reported catch:
Walleye

Captain Billy knew the river well. We caught the Walleye we were after and filled the cooler up to the top. We also all caught bonus smallmouth bass and my son caught a rather large sheephead. Just icing on the cake. Thank you Captain Billy!

Great Captain
Detroit River/Lake St Clair (PM) on September 12, 20252 adults

The fish were not as cooperative. We had a couple of strikes that were probably glad we didn’t catch because they stripped off everything we got one keeper in the five hour trip. Billy was great. I don’t think it was his fault. I just don’t think the fish were very interested today. The water was choppy and warmer than walleye like

thank you and you are scheduled for a return trip. no charge!
