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.

Just enjoy yourself. Remember that it is called fishing, not catching. Being out on the water is just the stress relief you need to reset.

We caught 3 walleye and a multitude of perches - small - so probably go twice to increase chances of catching a sizeable one. Was a pretty good day ln the water anyway - with a very enjoyable Eric. Thanks,

Make sure you dress for the weather. The river is wide and the wind will certainly be a factor for how cold it is going to be on the water. Nothing worse than getting into the fish and having a bad day because you are under dressed. You can always take some clothes off. I recommend that you go with someone that has experience with fishing the river for your first trip.

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.

It was a little slow after all the rains and water was cold for this time of year, but overall it was good. Dress in layers. Bring gloves. It's chilly.
