About Your Trip

Head out on the Detroit River with Captain Damon, a local pro who’s been fishing these waters for over 20 years. With a deep understanding of the river’s flow and fish behavior, Damon knows exactly how to slip the current and get you locked in on the Walleye bite.

Vertical jigging is the name of the game on this 5-hour trip, and you'll be working light tackle in all the right spots with expert guidance.
Whether you’re brand new to the sport or a seasoned angler, Damon’s got you covered with top-quality rods, reels, tackle, and live bait—all included. And don’t worry about the catch: he’ll clean your fish at the end of the trip so you can head home ready to cook.

You’ll fish from a brand-new 2024 21’ Smoker Craft utility boat powered by a 200 HP Suzuki engine—fully equipped with GPS, fishfinder, a wireless trolling motor, and an ice box to keep your drinks and catches cold. With trips departing at 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM, you can pick the perfect time to chase that limit.

Kids are welcome, Bluetooth tunes are encouraged, and while cold beer is fair game, leave the glass at home. And remember—hooksets are free!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
