August 15, 2026Capt Eric was amazing. He was super personable with a WEALTH of knowledge on ALL species. He was very honest in telling us that the juice wouldn't be worth the squeeze on going for walleye due to a slow bite and the distance we would have to travel. We HAMMERED the smallies ALL DAY with a few chances at some enormous muskie. I will ABSOLUTELY be booking with Eric for the walleye run in the Detroit River in the next couple months. He was extremely attentive to my questions as well as my 4 adult children. Nothing short of a class act.

August 14, 2026My boys and I went out with captain Eric and had a great day of fishing on Lake St. Clair. Captain Eric really knows the lake and put us on some fantastic small mouth bass. Created some great memories for my boys. Looking forward to getting out again in the future.

June 21, 2026Eric was outstanding from start to finish. Communication during the booking process was smooth, and he made sure our group was ready for a great day on the water. We caught plenty of fish on Lake St. Clair, and Eric was always there to set up the rods, offer guidance, and help land each catch. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the trip enjoyable for everyone. We highly recommend fishing with Eric and look forward to coming back for another trip!

April 18, 2026Captain Eric was excellent—very knowledgeable and focused on making sure we were using the right techniques to catch fish. If you follow his guidance, you’ll put fish in the boat. His years of experience really show, and he’s easy to work with from start to finish. Whether it’s your first trip or you fish often, Get Hooked is a great choice. My adult sons and I had a great time and will definitely be booking with Captain Eric again. Highly recommend checking out Get Hooked for your next trip.

April 12, 2026We had a great morning on the water with Captain Eric. It was just my husband, our 5-year-old son, and me, and he made the whole trip smooth, fun, and productive from start to finish. He really knows his stuff and took the time to teach us how to jig for walleye in a way that was easy to follow. We felt comfortable right away and picked it up quickly. What stood out most was how he connected with our son. He was patient, encouraging, and made sure he stayed involved and excited the entire time. That meant a lot to us and made the experience even more memorable. To top it off, he filleted our catch, and we enjoyed a fresh walleye dinner later that day. We caught fish, had a great time as a family, and left with lasting memories. We’ll definitely be booking with Captain Eric again and highly recommend him.

April 10, 2026Captain Eric put us right on the fish, and we finished with a four-man limit of quality walleye. He even took extra time to set up photos of us with our catch in front of the Ren Cen, which was a great touch. On top of that, he shared a few spots we can try on our own in the future. Great afternoon on the water—we’ll definitely be back next April. Thanks again!

March 31, 2026Captain Eric did a great job putting us on big fish even with tough conditions. He shared helpful tips with the newer anglers and runs a well-organized boat. I’ll definitely be booking with him again.

September 24, 2025Captain Eric was top notch. Very patient as some of the techniques were a little new to me. I caught a personal best 13+ pound catfish, numerous 4+ pound smallmouth, hooked a musky, and caught a first time and personal best almost 8 lb Drum. Had an absolute blast and Captain Eric is a great fisherman, great teacher and all around great man! Highly recommend him and when I’m up this way again I’ll definitely be giving him a call. Thank you Eric!

August 23, 2025We booked a charter for my son's birthday who is very excited about fishing. The first date we chose had to be rescheduled due to high winds, which I very much appreciated since it showed that Captain Eric is committed to his passengers safety and comfort during the charter. We had a great experience on Captain Eric's boat. His boat and equipment were great, we caught the biggest fish we have ever caught! He took special care in answering all our questions about fishing Lake St. Clair and he was very patient and kind with my son in catching all the fish and managing the poles. We had a great time with Captain Eric, I highly recommend booking with him and we will definitely be back for another charter.

August 7, 2025We booked this charter to take a 3rd generation wanna be fisherman (child) out on his first charter. Captain worked hard to get us on some fish as the bite was pretty cold for our morning charter. The Captain never gave up. His interaction with the new fisherman was outstanding. He was patient and very nice while answering all the normal kid questions.

August 2, 2025Captain Eric is an amazing Captain, I went with my dad and my 9 year old son. Eric was patient with my son and answered all of his silly questions. He made sure we had a great time and any questions or concerns were answered. I'm planning on booking with him again next time and many times after that
