Frequently Asked Questions
  1. When and where will we launch? Because of weather and fish
    activity it is impossible to let you know where we will be launching
    weeks in advance. Standard procedure is to call me (313-319-0100)
    the evening before our trip is scheduled to discuss our plans for the
    following day. I make every effort to put you on the best fish given the
    conditions.
  2. How many people can go? Because all guiding is done out of bass
    boats two adults is the maximum for bass fishing trips. 1 adult and 2
    children also works for bass fishing trips. Rates quoted are for the daily
    rate regardless of how many people. 1 additional angler (3max) for
    walleye trips at no additional charge.
  3. I am flying in how do I meet you? For those out of town customers I
    am the only guide service that will pick you up from your hotel. It is your
    responsibility to get to your room via one of the many shuttle services
    that are available at metro airport. Please let me know in advance if
    you need to be picked up from your hotel. This service is only available
    to clients that have flown in and do not have ground transportation.
  4. What if it rains? All weather cancellations are my decision. Rain suits
    are provided if you do not have one. We do not cancel trips because of
    rain.
  5. Can we keep the bass? Great Lakes Bass Fishing is a guide service
    and not a charter trip. Every effort is made to release every bass
    caught in good shape to fight again another day. We do not use live
    bait which promotes gut hooking and is considered unsporting.
    Artificial baits only for all bass trips.
  6. Do we need a Canadian Fishing license? Many trips require a
    Canadian Fishing License. I will let you know in advance if we need to
    get one for your trip.
  7. Do we need a Passport to fish in Canada? No. As long as we do
    not land on Canadian soil we can fish in Canadian water without a
    passport. If you plan to drive into Canada by car then you will need a
    Passport.  I will mention however if you plan on making the Detroit Area
    a frequent travel destination it may be a good Idea to have one. I got
    my from my local post office with little trouble.
