Capt. Kurt grew up fishing Lake St Clair with his Dad and Grandfather. Muskie fishing was in the family starting with his great grandfather. Kurt has worked with many charter captains to fine tune his knowledge of all things Lake St Clair fishing!

Muskies are Kurt’s specialty and passion but he’s no stranger to big bass, perch and walleye too! Kurt, his dad and crew spend as many days as possible out of the year on the water. Putting in the time and work to give you the best fishing experience.

We now also offer Detroit River walleye fishing in the spring. The Detroit River Walleye run is world famous. Captain Kurt has spent many hours learning the river and perfecting his vertical jigging skills to bring up limited of delicious walleye. Now we can pass along his expertise to help clients experience the thrill of the river!

The trip is great! Kurt and his dad are very welcoming and do a great job of making sure everyone is enjoying themselves. We went on the bass trip and caught 25 between the 4 of us. Most of them were TANKS. A 5 pounder was caught as well. Very recommended for a family or group of friends. Musky trip next !
