Kevin VanZandt

Member since March 2023 Gibraltar, United States

Background: I grew up as an outdoorsman and have been fishing on the Detroit River and Lake Erie for more than 20 years. I love seeing people catch nice fish. The Detroit River and Lake Erie are the Walleye capital of the world. The fishing is fantastic. Join me for some fun on the water. Fishermen come from all over the country to partake in this fishing adventure!
Techniques: I love jigging for walleyes in the Detroit River and trolling on Lake Erie. You never know what you will be catching.

Half Day Trip

Kevin is a good captain and goes the extra mile. On our charter day it wasn’t the best conditions and it was a slow start but we eventually found some to cooperate. He even went over our allotted time to make sure we caught all we could. I like the pontoon as it’s very spacious and comfortable. We had 3 kids a long and he was patient with teaching them. He was very good on responding with any questions I had.

I schedule this charter for me and 5 other friends, everything was amazing and Kevin made this trip wonderful, he is a very knowledgable captain, friendly and very helpful, we caught a lot of Walleyes in our trip, for sure I will contact him again. The rods and reels were really good quality (Shimanos and St croix)

We are tourists traveling here and have booked the captain’s boat to go fishing. The captain is very kind and patient. I got the wrong address and was late, but the captain has been waiting for us. The boat is very new and good. Next time, I will also book the captain’s boat to go fishing.
