5 Hour Trip (AM) on April 12, 20261 adult2 children
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.

Great crew, even better communication
5 Hour Trip (PM) on April 4, 20262 adults
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!
