The FLW Bass Fishing League is headed to Lake St. Clair July 31 for the third of five stops in the Michigan Division series. As many as 400 boaters and co-anglers will compete for top awards of up to $8,000 and $3,000, respectively.  Here is the full press release from the FLW.

If you’re fishing the BFL and you’re new to the lake, here are some spots you may want to check out.  Most of these have produced pretty well over the years in late July, but as always in fishing there are no guarantees.

There’s 4 spots to get you started.  All we ask is that if you hit it big on one of these spots, you give us a shout-out.  Let us know how you do and Good Luck.

Been a while since our last report, so here you go with the most up to date Lake St. Clair fishing report on the web.

Smallmouth Bass Report

Lots of reports of some smallies being caught off the mile roads.  The fish are in deeper water – 12 to 14 feet.  Go for the usual tubes and cranks in natural colors.  Also getting reports of some nice bass being caught off of Metro Beach in 10-12 feet of water.  Go for tubes and try some Erie Darters and DS Darters on a drop-shot rig.  Set yourself up for a good drift once you find the weed beds.  Stick to the edges.

Perch Report

Steady reports of perch being caught off of the St. Clair Light area.  Set-up around 15 feet of water with perch rigs and emerald shiners.  You’ll have to weed through some small ones, but some jumbos are out there.

Musky Report

Reports from the Salt River area of Anchor Bay from casters and trollers.  Big blades and big tubes for the caster and body baits in perch and jailbird colors have been catching fish.  Get near the weed beds in 12 feet of water.  Grassy island has given up some fish as well.  Towards the south end of the lake we’ve been getting reports from the Dumping Grounds.  Try different depths as the fish are fluctuating based on cloud cover and temperature.

Walleye Report

Getting some reports of walleye being taken out by the Firecracker on planer boards.  Guys are fishing natural colored bombers and rapalas. haven’t heard a depth, but you’ll probably see a few guys out there.

That’s is for now. Good luck and be safe.
