Bad day but great Captain

Walleye/ Multi-species Lake StClair4 adults1 child

Captain Rick and our party were surprised on our trip by unexpectedly, high waves, wind, and poor fishing conditions. Obviously, not Captain Rick’s fault, but he did his best to make up for it by taking us to bay areas sheltering us from the highest waves and stayed out an extra hour to allow us to double our catch when the fishing improved. I think that when things are less than ideal, you learn a lot about someone’s character. Captain Rick showed us today his true colors and did a great job!

    captain Rick

    5 Hour – Detroit River/Walleye (AM) • 5 adults

    he's definitely experienced & very accommodating. it was 100° we brought in more fish than I would have expected on such a hot day. 5 person trip 23 walleye some of the biggest perch I've ever seen in the lake. Broke of at least a 4' musky. It was a tough loss but that's why they call it fishing not catching. Pass up captain Rick and its your loss.Thanks for the hard work captain!

    Had a great trip in tough conditions

    5 Hour – Detroit River/Walleye (AM) • 4 adults

    Went out with Capt Rick and 3 of my teens for Walleye on the Detroit River and despite miserable weather (near continuous rain) he made sure that we ended the day with filets for days! We would not hesitate to book another trip with Eastside Fishing Charters!

    Thanks Ben
