Captain Don Murray runs Sweetwater Charters, offering professional Lake St. Clair fishing charters and Detroit River fishing trips backed by over 15 years of experience. This is a focused, small-group charter designed for anglers who want a productive day on the water with a knowledgeable local guide. Whether you're targeting Walleye, Perch, Bass, or Musky, each trip is tailored to seasonal conditions and current bite patterns across Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River.

Fishing on Lake St. Clair gives anglers access to one of Michigan’s most consistent multi-species fisheries. During the warmer months, the lake produces strong action for Bass and Perch, with productive structure and feeding zones that hold fish throughout the day. When conditions line up,

Musky fishing becomes a highlight, offering the chance to connect with one of the most sought-after freshwater predators in the region.

Detroit River fishing trips are especially popular in the spring, when Walleye move through the system in large numbers. Jigging techniques are commonly used to target fish in deeper channels and current breaks, making it one of the most reliable times of year to book a trip. Captain Don works these patterns closely to help guests stay on fish and make the most of their time on the water.

Sweetwater Charters operates a 20 ft Ranger Reata 2050LS powered by twin 200HP Yamaha engines, reaching speeds up to 35 knots. The boat comfortably accommodates up to 3 guests, making it a great option for families, friends, or anglers who prefer a more personal experience without the crowds.

Trips are available as half day or full day options, depending on your schedule and target species. Guests are required to purchase a valid Michigan fishing license before arrival.
