Steelhead fishing has been great and been getting into some nice silver fish and should continue to get better as we get settled into the winter.

this is the Lake Saint Clair report starting with the perch fish fishing and the lakes Saint Clair near did Detroit river has been exceptionally good lots of big fish and lots of them. A lot of the water is Canadian, but some of them are catches are coming on the American side. The musky fishing has been good over the Thames river . I don't do muskies like I used to do but do some casting up the south channel and have some pretty good luck with pike included . The wall. Fishing has picked up now we're getting some walleye. They're starting to show up. They're migrating back down from Lake Huron to Lake Erie and we're in there path so we're gonna be getting some good fishing it's gonna improve

When you consider a fishing charter, you should consider the abilities and experience of the Captain himself. Captain Jeremee has a wealth of knowledge that will benefit you and your entire group on a trip with him. He studies water intensely, water and weather conditions, the fish behavior, the up to the minute conditions and applies a tremendous skill set to meet your needs. Jeremee works well with even the young an inexperienced fisherman. Would you rather have Deshawn Watson or Jared Goff as your quarterback? Jeremee is a standout elite captain that will be my quarterback for many years to come. Please take it from an experienced fisherman that has had many outings with other Captains across the country including salt water excursions. Captain Jeremee is the real deal!

Trip: Premier Nighttime Trout Fishing

My daughter and I had a great time fishing with Butch. She had never caught a smallmouth before. Not only did she catch more than me she caught the biggest (4.40 lbs). Weather wasn't ideal with slick water and overcast most of the time but he still managed to put on some good fish. Our best 5 went a little over 16.5lbs. Was a good trip and I would recommend Butch as he has a lot of guide/tournament experience in the area. We went in the West Bay out of Traverse City.
