Captain Nick is the longest active captain on the Detroit River. He's been operating since 1988. He loves working with kids and novice anglers. He's friendly and a patient teacher, so novices are welcome as well. He also runs trips on Lake Erie, where he puts his customers on the ultimate catch of the area – the mighty Walleye.

    Bette boat ride for 2 or 3 adults. Captain was friendly

    Half Day Trip (PM) β€’ 4 adults

    Boat was a bit small for 4 full size passengers along with Mo and Nick. There was one seat for that 2 of us shared while my sons say on coolers. Captain Nick and Mo were very friendly. I was hoping.to learn a bit about how to fish and the different methods. This was a nice boat ride where we reeled in fish when they bit. They were not biting, but the captain did his best. We came away with 10 fish between the four of us . It was a beautiful day to be on the water. It was enjoyable but if you want fish, go in the morning and get a Canadian license.(We were only advised to get a Mi license prior to the trip)

    Reported catch:
    Walleye
    Smallmouth Bass
    Response from Captain

    Great trip lots of fun and fish

    5 Hour Trip (AM) β€’ 2 adults

    Captain Nick and his first mate Nick Jr. were great hosts. They put us right on the fish and we caught fish all day long. We were able to hit our limit and had lots of fun cutting up with the crew. I would recommend this trip for anyone coming to the area the captain was top notch and we had a blast. Caught many walleye, small mouth, and even caught a muskee.

    Reported catch:
    Walleye

    Captain Nick and NJ were awesome. Took my son, dad, and father-in-law on a 5 hour trip. We probably caught 50 fish. Walleye, small mouth, catfish, drum, and white perch. Super fun. They were great with my 9 year old and my 74 year old!

    Booked this trip in order to give my step-son an opportunity to catch some fish and it did not disappoint. Captain Nick and NJ made the experience very memorable. It seemed like we were reeling them in the whole time. Thanks for everything.
