What a great experience! My goal was to create quality time with my son and his BFF. I wasn't disappointed. Captain Chris was very professional and knew exactly what he was doing. I've done similar trips in the past, but this is my most notable one. Thank you!

Be sure to go at least once with a Charter Captain who is experienced in fishing the Detroit River so he knows the current and specific areas to go to find fish. Met others that day who had gone out on their own and caught nothing.

You can expect to catch bigger fish in April but the number of fish caught might be better in late or May. The weather conditions and water temperatures can make fishing in early April at times a bit difficult. We had to reschedule a trip as a result of bad weather.

Went fishing with Bushwacker Charters Walleye Fishing on July 22, 2024
We were told ahead of time that this isn't the best time to fish for walleye in that area, but we were still successful and had a great time

If I was making recommendation to any angler fishing in Detroit for the first time, I would advise them to find Captain Rick. He will do the rest.

Go with Chromeseeker charters if it’s jigging or pulling crawler harness he now’s what he’s doing

Dress warm. Listen to the captain, even if you fished your whole life,this is his playground. Bring snacks. Hold your lip right. Act like a nut.
