Experience world-class walleye fishing with Lake St. Clair Hooksetters on the legendary Detroit River. This guided walleye jigging charter puts you right in the heart of one of Michigan’s most productive fisheries, where hard-fighting Detroit River walleye are known for aggressive strikes and strong runs.

You’ll fish aboard a 21-foot 2021 Polarcraft Outlander—an aluminum fishing machine designed to handle river currents while providing a stable, comfortable platform. Fully equipped and purpose-built for jigging, the boat allows us to stay dialed in on active fish and prime structure throughout the day. Whether you're targeting spring spawning runs or consistent seasonal bites, we position you for maximum opportunity.

Jigging on the Detroit River is both technical and exciting. If you’re new to walleye jigging, we’ll walk you through everything—boat control, vertical presentation, reading current seams, and dialing in the right cadence to trigger bites. Experienced anglers will appreciate fine-tuning techniques to match river conditions and maximize hook-ups. Our goal is simple: put you on fish and help you land them with confidence.

Beyond the fishing, this trip offers some of the most unique scenery in the Midwest. As you work productive stretches of the river, you’ll watch massive freighters pass by, take in stunning waterfront views, and enjoy skyline backdrops you simply won’t find anywhere else. The combination of urban energy and natural beauty makes Detroit River fishing a one-of-a-kind experience.

To make the day even better, the restaurant at our launch site can cook your catch for a fee—taking your fresh walleye straight from rod to plate. Few fishing charters offer that kind of dock-to-dinner convenience.
