Detroit River Guide Jerome Dubrulle Is Running Walleye Charters Full Throttle This Season

Published

DETROIT, MI, Jun 11, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — If you’ve spent any time around walleye country, you already know the Detroit River has a reputation. Not the kind that needs hype behind it, either. The currents, the seasonal runs, the sheer volume of fish that move through this stretch of water, it’s legitimately one of the best freshwater fisheries in the Midwest. And right now, smack in the middle of prime season, USCG Licensed Captain Jerome Dubrulle is out there making the most of it.

Jerome Dubrulle is the founder of Jacques on the D Fishing Charter, running guided trips out of Stanton Yards Marina on Detroit’s east riverfront. He’s been fishing these waters long enough to know them in a way that’s hard to teach and impossible to fake. Spring walleye season runs April through June. Fall picks back up in October and November. Both windows consistently produce, and Jerome builds his entire trip calendar around those windows on purpose.

What Makes Walleye Season on the Detroit River Different

River fishing rewards people who pay attention. The current moves baitfish through the same corridors every season, and predators set up in the same places as a result. Once you learn those patterns, you can fish them predictably. Jerome has learned them. Spring run, fall bite, mid-season transitions, he’s dialed into all of it, and he adjusts his techniques to match—whether that’s jigging, bottom bouncing, or something else entirely, depending on the day. That local knowledge is what separates a good trip from one where you just kind of hope something bites.

Walleye trips are priced at $400 for up to three people and $500 for a group of four. Start times are 6AM and 2PM. Fish cleaning is included, all equipment is provided, and you don’t need to bring anything except yourself and an appetite for a good day out.

A Charter Built Around You, Not Just the Species 

One thing that stands out about Jerome’s operation is how straightforward it is. No gimmicks. He runs a clean, well-equipped 2019 Yamaha FSH 210 Center Console, takes groups of up to four, and handles everything from the game plan to the gear. First-timer who’s never held a rod? Fine. Serious angler who wants to get after it from the moment lines are in? Also fine.

His catch-and-cook experience has become something of a signature offering. You spend a morning on the river, you come in with fish, and Jerome turns it into a proper shore-side meal. That’s not a common offering, and clients who’ve done it tend to talk about it more than the fishing itself, which is really saying something.

More Than a Captain

Outside of running charters, Jerome is also a competitive endurance athlete and ultra-runner who has raced major marathons and long-distance events, which speaks to his threshold for early mornings and uncomfortable conditions. He’s also a deer hunter, avid hiker, and someone who has spent serious time outdoors across all four seasons.

Outside of the boat, he works as a real estate professional, where he continues to put his local knowledge to use—helping buyers and sellers navigate real estate transactions.

Walleye, Perch, Multi-Species, and a Full Season Ahead

Beyond the walleye trips, Jacques on the D runs yellow perch charters on Lake St. Clair from September through November, a genuinely underrated fishery that tends to surprise first-timers. July and August shift into multi-species mode, targeting smallmouth bass, perch, and whatever else is biting, which is a solid option for mixed groups or families where not everybody has a specific fish in mind.

The whole operation runs out of Stanton Yards Marina at 9666 E Jefferson Ave in Detroit.

Blake Osgood Challenges 5 Assumptions About Overlooked Value

Published

54 minutes ago

on

August 24, 2026

By

  • The Missouri business owner behind Ozgood Land Restoration and Osgood Equity Recovery shares lessons from two very different fields about looking beyond first impressions.

Missouri, USA, Aug 24, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — An overgrown pasture and an unclaimed pool of property funds may appear to have little in common. For Missouri business owner Blake Osgood, both illustrate something he has encountered repeatedly throughout his career: value can be easy to overlook when people make assumptions based on first impressions.

Osgood owns Ozgood Land Restoration in West Plains, Missouri, where he works with landowners to reclaim pasture, address invasive plant species, and improve the long-term health of their properties. More recently, he established Osgood Equity Recovery, which researches potential excess proceeds connected to property tax sales and helps eligible individuals pursue the recovery process.

The businesses require very different kinds of work, but Osgood says both have reinforced the importance of investigating before reaching conclusions.

“I’ve learned to look past the first impression,” Osgood said. “Whether I’m standing on an overgrown property or looking through records, I want to understand what is actually there before I decide what can be done.”

Here are five assumptions Osgood says his work has taught him to question.

Assumption 1: What You See Today Tells You What Something Is Worth

When Osgood walks onto an overgrown property, invasive plants and neglected pasture may dominate the landscape. That does not necessarily mean the land has lost its potential.

His first step is to walk the property and understand what remains beneath the growth. Native grasses may still be present. Existing terrain may offer opportunities for better pasture. Wildlife may already be using sections of the property differently than expected.

“The condition something is in today doesn’t always tell you what it can become,” Osgood said. “You have to understand what you’re looking at before you write it off.”

That lesson has influenced how he approaches problems outside land restoration as well.

Assumption 2: The Obvious Problem Is Always the Real Problem

A property covered in brush appears to have a brush problem. Osgood says the underlying situation can be more complicated.

Simply removing vegetation without understanding what caused certain species to dominate can lead to the same problem returning. Soil conditions, previous land use, drainage, grazing patterns, and follow-up management can all affect what happens next.

His years working in project management taught him to resist jumping immediately to solutions.

“If you solve the first problem you see without asking why it’s happening, you can end up doing a lot of work without fixing much,” Osgood explained.

He applies the same principle in business. Before deciding whether an opportunity is worth pursuing, he wants to understand the process behind it.

Assumption 3: If Something Has Been Overlooked, It Probably Isn’t Important

Osgood’s interest in equity recovery began when he learned more about what can happen following certain property tax sales.

Depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances, a sale may generate proceeds beyond the amounts required to satisfy taxes and other obligations. Those excess proceeds may potentially be claimable by a former property owner or another eligible party.

Osgood became interested in what happens when someone does not realize funds may exist.

That led him to establish Osgood Equity Recovery, where he researches potential excess proceeds, identifies people who may be eligible, and assists with the recovery process when appropriate. His compensation is contingent upon a successful recovery.

“The thing that caught my attention was the possibility that something could be there and the person connected to it might not know about it,” Osgood said. “That made me want to understand the process better.”

Eligibility and procedures vary, and identifying potential funds does not guarantee a successful recovery.

Assumption 4: Moving Faster Always Produces Better Results

Osgood has learned to be cautious about speed.

In land restoration, rushing into a project before walking the property can mean overlooking drainage, native vegetation, wildlife activity, or other conditions that affect the plan.

In equity recovery, reaching conclusions before researching the available records can create a different set of problems.

Osgood believes the principle is the same.

“Experience has made me more willing to slow down,” he said. “Earlier in my career, I probably put more value on having an answer quickly. Now I care more about having enough information to make the right decision.”

His background as a Senior Project Manager with Air Evac EMS and his later work as a defense contractor helped develop that process-oriented approach.

Assumption 5: A Career Has to Stay Inside One Industry to Make Sense

Osgood’s professional path has crossed several fields.

He spent years in project management, became self-employed in 2013, worked as a defense contractor, earned an Executive MBA from Walden University, managed his own ranch, established a land-restoration company, and eventually entered equity recovery.

From the outside, those transitions may appear unrelated.

Osgood sees continuity in the skills behind them.

Researching a potential recovery is different from evaluating an overgrown pasture, but both require observation, planning, communication, and follow-through.

“I don’t think experience stops being useful because you move into a different industry,” Osgood said. “The setting changes, but a lot of the questions stay the same. What is the problem? What information are we missing? What can realistically be done about it?”

Looking Beyond the First Impression

Osgood continues operating Ozgood Land Restoration while developing Osgood Equity Recovery. He does not try to make the two businesses appear more similar than they are.

Instead, he sees them as examples of the type of work that has consistently held his interest.

He is drawn to practical problems that require someone to investigate, pay attention, and follow through.

“Not everything you look into turns into an opportunity,” Osgood said. “Sometimes you do the research and realize there isn’t anything you can do. That’s part of it. The important thing is being willing to look closely enough to find out.”

For Osgood, that willingness to look closer has become a common thread across an otherwise unconventional career.

Latest project, based Mayel’s journey on foot from Syria to Sweden, adds to Mayel’s growing professional body of work as a filmmaker and cinematographer in Los Angeles

United States, 24th Aug 2026 — Filmmaker and cinematographer Kadir Mayel today announced that he has completed work on his dramatic short film “The Road.” The film tells the story of Syrian refugees attempting a dangerous winter border crossing. It examines themes that include survival, sacrifice, hope, and the human cost of forced migration. The film adds to Mayel’s growing and distinctive body of work in Los Angeles.

“The Road is based on my own experiences of displacement and migration,” explained Mayel, who is originally from Aleppo, Syria, but left the country during the war and later undertook an extended journey on foot across Europe to reach Sweden. “My lived experience contributes to my personal visual style and approach to storytelling.” Mayel credits his experiences in Syria, Turkey, Europe, Sweden, and the United States for informing his interest in stories involving displacement, survival, identity, resilience, and human connection.

Mayel’s remarkable personal journey helped shape his artistic perspective. After establishing a life in Sweden, studying electronic and software engineering, and working professionally as a software engineer, he relocated to Los Angeles to pursue filmmaking. His career in Los Angeles has been multidisciplinary, expansive, and successful. His work spans commercial narrative productions, independent cinema, directing, lighting, and visual storytelling. He is known for technical precision, visual discipline, and emotionally grounded storytelling.

In Sweden, Mayel studied electronic and software engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. He then worked professionally as a software engineer. This technical background gave Mayel the discipline, preparation, and problem-solving abilities that now inform his approach to cinematography and filmmaking. He completed his filmmaking education at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles. His training encompassed cinematography, directing, screenwriting, lighting, editing, producing, camera operation, and production leadership.

Throughout his career, Mayel has contributed to productions connected with internationally recognized artists and brands, such as a music video for OneRepublic and a commercial production for Microsoft. His experience across music videos, commercials, and narrative filmmaking has required him to work within large professional crews, collaborate across camera and lighting departments, and maintain high technical and creative standards under demanding production schedules.

As a Los Angeles filmmaker, Mayel has distinguished himself by achieving a range of competencies in an industry where most people choose a narrow specialty for their careers. Mayel’s abilities span—and synergize—cinematography, filmmaking, visual development, and production leadership. This background gives Mayel a distinctive capacity to lead a production at both the organizational and creative levels. 

Mayel has worked with leading production companies. These include professional narrative work for SkySpire Productions, a notable creative and digital production studio specializing in promotional content, brand identity design, and publishing,  and Dhar Mann Studios, a video production company that creates short scripted videos primarily distributed on platforms such as YouTube.
