Detroit River
Walleye Fishing
The Detroit River in the spring time is easily one of the most prolific walleye fisheries in the country. It sees the biggest walleye migration in the world take place, with millions of Lake Erie walleye pushing up the Detroit River to spawn.
Our guided fishing charters offer an unparalleled experience on these waters. Vertical jigging is the preferred technique for catching walleye in the Detroit River, and we have years of experience using this method to put our clients on the fish.
Our fishing charters depart from Sinbad's Marina on the upper river in downtown Detroit, providing easy access to the best walleye fishing grounds in the area. We provide all the necessary fishing equipment, including rods, reels, and bait, so all you need to do is show up ready to fish.
Our fishing charters are available for half-day trips, mornings or afternoons and we can accommodate both experienced anglers and beginners. We take the time to get to know each client and their individual fishing goals, ensuring a personalized and enjoyable experience for all.
In addition to the excitement of catching walleye, the Detroit River offers stunning views of the city skyline and surrounding areas, adding to the overall experience of the fishing trip. After a successful day out on the river we encourage you to take a few fish into Sinbad’s for their excellent Catch & Cook option. There’s nothing better than fresh walleye from river to table in less than a few hours.
