I caught one fish, but it was a big one and a fun fight. None of the other boats seemed to be catching much either, so I think it was the day. The boat is very nice and comfortable with plenty of space, and Captain Dan and his son are very friendly and knowledgeable. They were also perfectly happy to let me be a bit more involved in the whole operation than normal.
I went by myself and still had a great time with them, even though we weren’t hauling in constantly. If I get the chance, I will book with them again.

The Hooked Up Charter Fishing excursion my son-in-law and I shared today (23 August 2021) under the highly professional guidance and care of Captain Dan Perkins and his assistant Ryan was a simply superb five star fishing experience which we will remember with delight well into the future.  Indeed, although we caught both Salmon and Lake Trout, the half-day spent trolling was an exceptionally relaxing and entertaining time spent in a small but especially comfortable vessel.  Captain Dan also made certain that we were fully briefed on the availability of water safety equipment aboard as well as the fishing gear and methods for using it to bring caught fish safely aboard.  Finally, Captain Dan’s outgoing, encou raging and cheerful demeanor throughout the trip was also greatly appreciated and enjoyed by both of us, and we will be recommending his Charter Fishing trips to friends as a truly “Five Star Charter Fishing Experience!”

Captain Dan wasted no time and put us on the fish right away. Largest small mouth I’ve ever caught. I had no problem releasing that tank back into the River.

Friend of mine had never caught a walleye and Captain made sure he could never say that again.

Deck hand Ryan was busy and kept our lines Hooked Up!

Fantastic trip! Highly recommend you use Hooked Up Sport Fishing!

If you want a captain that knows the Detroit River and fish, and is doing everything he can to have you catch fish,then captain Dan is the one for you.
Along side of him is his son Ryan.
Hooked up Charters is top notch.

Had a great day on the water.  Lake was beautiful along with a spectacular sunrise.  Captain Dan was great along with his son serving as first mate.  They took great care of us and did everything possible to insure we had an enjoyable experience.  Fish weren’t cooperating with us, but always felt that Captain Dan was working hard to attempt some different strategies.  We found fish, they just weren’t hungry and many other reports from other captains had the same experience that morning.  We didn’t go home empty handed, just had to work hard for what we got.  We will go back and recommend this charter service.
