Michigan Charters Detroit River Walleye 

5.0/5 (4 reviews)
 Delray Public Boat Ramp , Detroit, MI 48209, United States

Make some memories on the Detroit River and go fishing with Captain Jon.

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 jigging. Capt. Jon will bring you aboard a 25' SportCraft   with space for 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

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. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't forget to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

5 Hour Morning Detroit River Trip on April 27, 2025

Captain Mike and Jon split the boat… So it creates great flexibility for being able to go out consistently. On this adventure we had captain Mike…there was a recent cold front that caused the fishing to be a little challenging, but he was working with some of his captain friends who helped us find fish, and we had a blast. He’s just a fun guy to hang out with on the boat. My son had a ball. He even let him help clean the fish and taught him how to use an electric fillet knife. My son thought it was super cool.

Highly recommend this charter! Captain was fantastic, wind was pretty significant but captain Jon kept us vertical and jigging at all times. Found walleye in all the spots he took us! Equipment he provided was great and we had a fantastic time on the river. Have taken other charters, this was by far the best. Marina his boat is at has plenty of parking and very clean restrooms.

The captain and mate were both great, knowledgeable and fun guys. They helped as needed but were not over bearing. We had a great morning on the water and look forward to fishing with them again.

Captain Jon has been fishing for over 40 years. He started fishing off his uncle's dock in South Haven when he was 4 years old. The excitement of catching his first fish hooked him for life. Capt. Jon has a wealth of knowledge of all the Great Lakes. He works hard to provide an experience that will leave you wanting more.
