Bass & Muskie Fishing Update….
Well we are well into both Bass & Muskie fishing for the 2012 season and what an awesome fishing season it is turning out to be.
We just started fishing Bass on both the Canadian & Michigan side. The Michigan side over the past 2 months for the early catch and release season was incredible fishing. We have a running average of 8-9 dozen Bass caught per 6hr trip!!
Our best day of Bass fishing so far has been over 100 Bass boated and the largest of this season is 6.6 Lbs. that measured 22”!! Now that is some great Bass fishing. The Bass fishing is getting better as the summer heats up and now we can fish the Canadian side where they have been left alone so far and will be some awesome fishing!
The Muskie season is also well under way with the season’s opening tournament bringing in a 40# fish… and there have been many fish caught over the 30# mark so far. This season has shown to be one of the best Muskie fishing season’s yet as we have been boating over 10 fish per trip!! That is a running average of 10 Muskie boated with our best day so far of 21 for 28 Muskies. We have had many double and triple headers too. The biggest Muskie boated so far was 52” and weighed 34 Lbs. This fishing season should bring in many more monsters as well as a possible 50#er before the seasons end.
The best part of the Muskie season is just getting started as well as the Canadian Bass season… We still have some dates available during the peak of this fishing season and this is not a season to miss!! Give us a call and set up your Bass or Muskie trips while there is still time!
We look forward to hearing from you and hope to get you out fishing this season!

Spring fishing report!!
Now as May sets in and the temps have been steadily climbing along with the water temps, so too has the fishing…
The Walleye fishing in the Detroit river has been outstanding this season with many big fish and limits of Walleyes caught in very short order at times. Recently there has been an abundance of silver bass being caught as well. These fish are a riot to catch as they are more than plentiful when in the river. They will school up to chase & eat bait, therefore when you are trying to get your jig down to the walleye’s they will hit it before it gets to the bottom. It makes it harder to catch the Walleye but you can’t beat the action of the silver bass run!
It seems there has been a lot of Muskies being caught while jigging in the river as well as in the lake during the catch & release Bass season… This should prove to be an awesome year for Muskie fishing and there should be some real monsters caught this year, just like the one that is shown on our Facebook page that was caught by our mate Keith while he was fishing Walleye’s. It was 48” x 26” weighing a massive 40.6 lbs!! That is a true Monster Muskie. Check it out on our Facebook page at www.facebook.mrmuskiecharters.com and join “like” our page to keep up with what is going on between fishing reports!
The early catch & release season for Bass has proved to be very successful as we have averaged 3-5 dozen caught every trip… Now that is some good action!
We just started those charters last week and will be doing the Bass charters through September however the action is best during the earlier part of the season.
We will keep everyone posted on the fishing and add some pictures to keep you drooling… Give us a call to set up your 2012 charters while some dates are still available during the peak of the fishing season!

Pre-Season updates & Fishing Reports
We wanted to give everyone one last reminder about our special pricing on all charters booked through April 1st!
Only 10 days left to take advantage of or discounted rates!
Call us now to set your 2012 charters while prime date during peak fishing season may still be available.
We also wanted to share some fishing information as well our seasons predictions…
Fishing Reports:
With the mild winter we had and the jump start into spring with record temps this fishing season is off and running with warmer than usual water temps and active fish. We should expect a great fishing season for the 2012!
Walleye season has already begun in the Detroit River! There have days with some good action & Limits of Walleye have been caught already! They are being caught over a wide spread area both on the American side as well as the Canadian side.
Bass season should be starting with some great action as they have been very active in the canals and shallows now which means they are starting their mating and spawning cycle. This should make them active and hungry for the early catch & release season ,which we will be starting our bass charters the 1st of May!
Muskie season is just around the corner and our book is starting to fill up as are the Muskies on the small bait fish in the shallows. There have been many sightings of huge Muskies in the shallows, which indicates they are spawning and feeding while protecting their eggs! There was very little die off this winter and a huge number of Muskies caught last season just under the legal mark, which means this should be another unbelievable year for Muskie fishing! I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the year of the 50#er!! Our calendar is starting to get filled up during the peak of the Muskie season, so call us to set up your 2012 charters while prime dates may still be available!!
We look forward to hearing from everyone and hope to get you out fishing this season!

Muskie Season Opening Tournament
Well the muskie season opened with a bang!
It was awesome weather and some great fishing to be had!
We headed out for the south end of the lake and dropped in the lines. It wasn't much more than an hour and we had our first muskie in the boat. It was just the start of a excelent day of fishing. We trolled the south end of the lake and caught quite a few muskies, with a few double headers. We then started trolling back where we had started and when we got there it was gang busters for an hour or so, with another double header. We ended up going 17 muskies boated for 21 muskies hooked. We also had boated 2 pike and a small mouth bass.
All in all it was a long day of fishing that proved to be extremely successfull!
It showed that there will be a great fishing season ahead of us this year!

May is here and Muskie Season is Near!
I left off with the boat.. oh yes we need the boat and in short order.
It seems for most people that when we put the boat away for a long winter nap that sometimes it is in well less than perfect shape. The fact is that we have fished it all year and even though we try and keep up on things and contain all the messes that well it is a never ending job. It gets even harder when we are fishing in the late fall for those monster muskies and when we return to the marina they have shut the water off for the season, whether we are done with it or not! So now the spring is upon us and we head down to get the boat ready to go back intyo action for another season and we find that there is a seemingly mountain of work ahead of us.
We pull the shrink wrap off to find that someone must have snuck in over the winter and trashed this thing...WTF! We rub-out and wax the whole boat and then clean up the interior and put another coat of paint on the bottom then put another coat on all the miles of teak wood. Well that doesn't seem that bad.. for an army of people. Well it can be a time consuming and labor intensive project to say the least!
So now the boat is water bound.. yes finally there well only to find a punch list of all the stuff that has gone wrong or broke or just needs attention from the previous years use and abuse. So onto all that work.. well after it is all dsaid and done you just want to sit back and have a few cold ones and admire all of the hard work that you have done to get things ready for another season. Sometimes i catch myself thinking man is it really necessary to cover this bueatiful boat in muskie slime, blood, spilled beers,etc. Well that is how it is and when everyone gets to the boat they think that the magic cleaning elves just left as things appear showroom new yet again..
So the moral of this little tid-bit story is that when you get to my boat take a minuite and look around and realize what goes into getting this vessel ready and how it looks and smells. Noone is here to follow you around and pick up after you and fix the things that you break, so go slow and pay attention and be careful. Treat it like you would your own house unless you live in a pigpen.. then treat it like your mothers house! For all of those that do come and take care of things and help out.. hats off to you as the only magic elves that are around and the captain and mate!
