Fishing Detroit's Walleye Paradise: Guided Charters with About Time on Detroit River

When it comes to Detroit, fishing might not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, this is actually an advantage for you, as you'll have the opportunity to enjoy the abundant Walleye population with the guidance of the experienced captain from About Time Charters.

Step aboard their 2019-edition Polarkraft aluminum fishing boat, which measures 21' in length. It comfortably accommodates up to 4 anglers, along with the captain. Equipped with a wireless trolling motor, you'll be able to maintain stability in the river and approach even the most elusive fish. Additionally, the boat features cutting-edge navigation and fishfinding systems, as well as customized seating and hummingbird electronics.

The Detroit River is known for its thriving Walleye population, and captain Damon Herndon is an expert at finding the best fishing spots. With over two decades of experience, he has refined his fishing technique to perfection and is more than happy to share his knowledge with clients. The charter specializes in jigging, and all necessary equipment is provided for your convenience.

Cleaning and filleting your catch is complimentary on the Detroit River, while on Lake Erie trips, local bait shops offer fish cleaning services for a small fee. The charter provides all the required equipment, but make sure to obtain a valid Michigan fishing license before embarking on your fishing adventure. It is also recommended to bring a waterproof camera, appropriate clothing, polarized sunglasses, and sunscreen for your comfort.
