    Once in a lifetime catch

    Lake St Clair Musky weekday on August 21, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had an amazing experience, the captain was incredibly knowledgeable and his water craft was second to none. The boat is well equipped and within 30 minutes we had our first take on the trolled lures. The Musky fight hard and even though the fishing gear is perfectly balanced you will be given a run for your money! The captain worked hard re-adjusting the rigs due to weeds but somehow he managed to get us in the middle of the baitfish everytime. The final result was four fish at 48, 46.5, 42 & 41 inches. I can’t recommend this trip enough and it will take some beating. Thank you.

    Great Experience

    Lake St. Clair Musky – Weekend on October 20, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

    My son and his friend mowed lawns all Summer so they could save up to go on a fishing trip. After extensive research, they chose Mainstream Fishing Charters and we were so happy they did. Our experience was excellent. The captain provided excellent communication about our trip in the week before and was on time and ready to go when we got there. He was keen to share his years of experience and expertise with us and the boys. In the end, both boys caught a big Muskie - exactly what we were hoping for. We would definitely book with Mainstream again. Thanks, Captain David!

    Great walleye fishing!!!

    Lake Erie Walleye weekend AM on May 26, 2024 • 2 adults

    My dad and I were itching to go fishing and decided to go with Captain David! His focus, speed, and determination is impressive. His knowledge is extensive, he had every answer to my curiosities. We went home with 11 Walleyes, he tried real hard to get the goal of 12, but my father needed to tap out. Otherwise, he would have stayed working for the last Walleye until the very last minute. We are going with Captain David again in June, you should book with Mainstream Fishing Charters!

    Awesome Lake Erie Walleye

    Lake Erie Walleye Weekend PM on July 22, 2023 • 2 adults

    My dad and I had an amazing trip! We couldn’t keep the rods in the water. Limit out on Walleye and caught a nice Rainbow trout. The boat had a beautiful view up top for some extra seating. Mike was so kind and full of some great information for us newbies. Even filleted them up for us for a small fee. Couldn’t recommend this charter enough.

Half day trip with captain Dave.
Lake Erie Walleye weekend AM on August 13, 2023 • 6 adults

Captain Dave was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we stepped foot on the boat till the time we got back he was working his ass off. We caught our limit with 5hrs of dropping the first line. He couldn't even set up all the lines before the fish started hitting and twice we had multiple fish on. He's super knowledgeable and gave us pointers and tricks when fishing alone. Overall our experience was anmazing and would highly recommend using this charter. Thanks again Dave our catch was delicious!!!!
