If you go out in the morning it’ll be a bit chilly but it gets hotter as the morning goes by. I’d suggest layering.

This was our first time fishing the Detroit River through Fishing Booker and it turned out better than we could have imagined. It was great learning the technique of jigging for walleye using the quality rods and reels along with the jigs that were all provided to us during the charter. Just be prepared to enjoy the experience and the fish you hope to catch.

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!
