Detroit Rocker Brian Schram Opens Lake St. Clair Fishing Guide Service – iFish Lake St. Clair – Lake St. Clair Fishing http://shar.es/mYsNH

You may have seen Brian Schram on television shows “The World’s Greatest Fishing Show” with Mark Zona or “The Next Bite”.  He may be just as well known for his Music.  He’s a serious musician and tours with the Brian Schram Band performing locally and across North America.  Don’t let that fool you however; this guy can catch some serious fish.  Here is an excerpt about Brian from his website at WWW.BRIANSCHRAM.COM

Fishing has been a passion of mine since I can remember. While growing up in Michigan I spent all my free time fishing and dreaming of becoming a professional fisherman. The only thing that got in the way of my fishing was school, music and a conventional job for a short period of time.It didn’t take me long to realize that I had “the bug” and had it very bad. I would head to the lake right after school and fish for giant top-water smallmouth bass all through the night. In my mind I could spend the rest of my life on that canoe and I would die a very happy man.

Since then I have been fortunate to experience some amazing fishing in some beautiful parts of the world. I have been lucky enough to meet and fish with some of the greatest anglers in the business such as John Gillespie, Gary Parsons, Chase Parsons, Keith Kavajecz, Mark Zona, Kevin Van Dam just to name a few.

I have appeared on many Nationally syndicated fishing TV shows as the guest “fishing rocker” as well. Pete Maina is a co-host for one of these TV shows called “The Next Bite”. I was lucky enough to become a very good friend of Pete’s on and off the water. Pete has “taken me under his wing” so to speak and shown me the pro’s and cons and a whole lot more about Muskie/Pike fishing and the importance of conservation. In his words he saw the passion and drive that I had just to feel that next bite. Pete is always pushing me to my limits to focus and perfect my angling skills in which I am forever greatful.

Well the rest is history and I have been able to enjoy a fun career in music and fishing. Realizing that I absolutely enjoyed teaching and putting anglers on big fish, in 2010 I began my own guiding business called “Rockin Fish Tales Guide Service”. My home base is the most popular tackle/marina shop on Lake St Clair called Anglers Point Marina. Anglers Point has quickly become the favorite on the lake and the live and artificial bait selection doesn’t get any better for all species that swim in the best multi-species lake in the world. It is located at 28955 Wm P Rosso Hwy, Chesterfeild Township, MI.

The lake is still dirty in most popular smallmouth fishing areas.  Fish are still being caught however.  Most success has come on lipless crankbaits.  Makes sense with the dirty water, the fish need a chance to find a bait.  Still seeing some fish caught on tubes too.  Personally, I’ve caught 20 fish on a lipless for every one on a tube.  Selfridge has been productive and still holds a lot of fishermen as well.  We’ve fished the mile roads area and have found the best spots off of Memorial Park (look for the tent and blue seawall) and off 9 mile by Ford’s Cove.  Good luck.

On Friday the smallmouth were stacked up in one particular area off of Selfridge.  There were large numbers of fish being caught not only by our boat, but other boats around us.  The smallmouth were relatively shallow in 3-4 feet of water.  Most of our fish came on lipless crankbaits in any perch type colors.  The fish hit on a fast stop and go retrieve.  Other boats were also using tubes with success.  Tubes also caught more fish on a fast retrieve.  It seemed like the larger fish came on the lipless cranks however.

Good Luck

The Lake St. Clair catch and release season opened for bass last weekend.  The weather was rainy all weekend, but that didn’t slow the action down.  Reports of smallmouth being caught from 9 mile to 11 mile road by the hundreds were common.  We have also received reports of some fish being caught at Selfridge.  Largemouth were also plentiful in the canals and off breakwalls.  Tubes, lipless crankbaits, and jerkbaits in all kinds of colors did the job.  We’ve had reports of fish coming from 4 feet to 8 feet of water.  Needless to say the fish are everywhere in large numbers and will hit just about anything you throw at them.

Good luck, as if you need it this time of year.
