Vehicle Details
Fishing on the Detroit River is heating up as we roll into the tail end of May. The water temps are hovering in the low 60s, and the bite has been consistent across most of the river. Whether you’re chasing walleye, smallmouth bass, or even the occasional white bass, now’s a great time to be on the water. Walleye are still the main target for many anglers. The post-spawn fish are scattered but still actively feeding. Vertical jigging remains the top technique—1/2 oz jig heads tipped with minnows or plastics are getting solid results. Hot spots include the Ambassador Bridge, Fighting Island, and Trenton Channel. Expect a mixed bag of eater-size fish and some quality 4–6 pounders. Smallmouth bass action is picking up fast. They’re staging and beginning to push shallow. Look for rocky structure and current breaks. Tube jigs, Ned rigs, and drop shots are all producing bites. The mid-morning window seems to be the most productive, especially on sunny days. White bass are showing up in better numbers, especially on the southern end of the river. If you're looking for fast-paced fun, tie on a small blade bait or cast soft plastics near current seams. Boat traffic is picking up, so be mindful of wakes and give fellow anglers space—there’s plenty of water to go around. Quick Tips: Go early to beat the crowds and get the best bite. Keep a few jig colors handy; white, chartreuse, and motor oil are working well. Don’t overlook the Canadian side if you have a license—less pressure and solid action. It’s shaping up to be a fantastic start to the summer season. Whether you're jigging for walleye or tossing lures for bass, the Detroit River has plenty to offer right now.
Embrace the summer atmosphere and the excitement of landing your prize catch! Seize the opportunity for summer excitement! Reach out to us by phone, text, or messenger to reserve your outing now. We supply all the gear, bait, and fuel necessary. Simply come dressed comfortably, pack some snacks, and prepare for an unforgettable day on the picturesque blue seas!

My buddy and I went on a five hour fishing trip. The weather was less than ideal (rainy and cold) but we stuck it out. We cleaned up and got our limit. Thereon and his dad are very knowledgeable about the Detriot River (and other wate areas) you will not be disappointed in their professionalism and experience! Thank you again!!!

We went on a night charter trip (my first time) with my husband and daughter. Theron and his dad were patient and helpful. We had fun and caught our limit on fish (I caught the biggest one)!
