Reel Life Great Lakes Sportfishing
Reel Life Great Lakes Sportfishing invites you to experience the stunning waters of Lake St. Clair. Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Earl can tell you all about the local fishery.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Walleye, Musky, Smallmouth Bass and who knows what else! On the day of your trip you're likely to troll.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Also remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
Capt. Earl runs a 27' Sportfish with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included.
You may have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
Before coming aboard, you need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.
A few items to bring include sunglasses, bottled water, a cooler for your catch and sunblock. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
And that's it! Your fishing trip with Reel Life Great Lakes Sportfishing is just a click away.

Captain Earl was friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful throughout the entire trip. The boat was great, the fishing was incredible and we caught everything from perch to huge walleye and even musky. Every part of the experience exceeded our expectations. My dad and I hadn’t been fishing together like this in years and seeing how much fun he had made it worth every penny. Thank you, Captain Earl, for giving us an unforgettable day on the water. We can’t wait to come back!
Captain Earl & first mate Jake were so friendly and made this great experience unforgettable. Choppy waters at first made for solid Walleye fishing (dinner was so tasty!) Being first time fishers, they were knowledgeable and really took the time to teach us as we went. We highly recommend this venture!
Our started at 7 am sharp. Myself, my 17 year old son and two of his buddies from highschool came along. The four of us had never charted a fish trip on Lake St. Clair before, so we were really not knowing what to expect. Captain Earl gave a brief description of what we were going to do. He gave us detailed safety tips, for the event of an emergency. That was important as I am responsible for the three 17 year-olds on board. We headed out to the spot he had luck in the past and we were on the fish pretty fast. It was our first time doing a trolling fish expedition. It didn't take long for us to start reeling in the fish. By time the day had ended we were maxed out on our Michigan allowance for walleye. We also caught and kept some nice yellow perch. Another nice thing happened, l was able to land an unexpected Smallmouth Bass. We weighed it on board and it was a 4 pounder. Biggest one I have ever landed. We came back to the marina and Captain Earl was nice enough to clean and filet the fish. Overall, it was a great experience for all of us. The boys were so happy at the end of the day.

Where to start, Directions led us straight to the boat. Boarding was super easy . Captain Earl did a great job of explaining everything and kept the mood light. He walked the boys and I through the process and they pretty much took over, despite some issues CPT. Earl stayed patient and goods times where had by all. Bathroom was small but dut no worse than a wet bath in an r.v. He cleaned the catch once back at the dock and got us on our way. He went above and beyond a day later to get me the pictures he took by sharing them to an album (he has apple, I have droid) so I had the best pics.
Took my three grandsons (11, 10, 7) fishing with Captain Earl and we had an outstanding time. Captain Earl took every moment to teach the boys the in’s and out’s of fishing. As a result, we caught fish all day long, boys almost got tired of catching fish. Captain put us on the Walleye and the rest was history. These memories will be discussed at the Thanksgiving table for years to come!!!!

I went out there with a friend and my grandchildren ages 16 and 11, they had the best time, with catching fish after fish. I made so many memories with them and we all had such a wonderful time catching so many fish. Something that is fun for both girls and boys. The captain is very attentive making sure everyone is involved. Captain Earl was so nice to spend the day with. He also cuts up everyone’s fish so you can take it home all cleaned up. I definitely recommend it to everyone.
It’s really about the skill of the crew that runs the charter. In this case it is Captain Earl. What it boils down to is knowing where they are and how to catch them. If you are looking and wondering choose Captain Earl he is the best.
Captain Earl is very experienced at locating fish and we will be enjoying our walleye dinners for the next several months👍🏻Thank you for a great evening on the boat!

with my grandkids. Had a 5,6, and 9 year old on board and Captain Earl made them all feel welcome. He showed great patience with them and probably had as good time as they did. They caught fish and were enthralled with the boat ride. I think a good time was had by all.
Captain was awesome. Very personable and professional. Had a great time and caught a bunch of fish

It was big fish day!

Thank you. Have a great summer.
I took two of my grandsons walleye fishing. We all caught the maximum limit allowed. Captain was great and very knowledgeable. We all felt much safer being in a larger ship rather than a smaller one other charters offer. All in all it was a great day fishing.

Thanks Joe.
Captain Earl was great with our group! So patient and helpful with our three 12 year old boys who had lots of questions. They caught so many fish! It was a really wonderful trip!

Thank you ,Mary.

Good day in a tough conditions.
