This was our first experience with a fishing charter and it could not have been better! Despite the wind that challenged the captain, we had a great time learning how to 'feel' the bottom for jigging and ultimately catching our limit. The crew were attentive and friendly, very willing to let us learn and enjoy the experience but ready to step up and help when direction was needed. It was also an added benefit that the boat had a sheltered area that we were able to sit in and be protected from the wind and spray as we moved from one area of fishing to another. i would definitely recommend Rippin Drag Charters and Captain Derek for any future fishing trips!
So glad that you had a great experience, you did great and caught on quickly! We appreciate you choosing Rippin Drag Charters! Looking forward to your next trip!
I brought both my son's ages 7 & 9 for walleye fishing on the detroit river. I cant say enough about the experience we had with Rippin Drag. Granted we did catch our limit of walleye but even on a bad day of fishing I would recommend these guys. Great with kids. Top notch guide. Answered any questions I had before hand. Took tons of pictures for us. Thanks again. I hope to do this again sometime soon. Memories were made and will last a lifetime for me and my family.
Thank you Andrew for booking with us and the review. You and your boys did a great job fishing. Enjoyed having you all on the boat and looking forward to your next trip.
great communication from the crew. unlike most charters these guys are straight up and honest. we got forced back to harbor early due to some storms the area. while waiting for the storms to roll over, they managed to still catch us fish from the dock. 10/10 will be booking with again!
Thank you so much Brandon for coming out! Was definitely a memorable trip thanks to the weather! Looking forward to your next trip! Thank you again!
