iFish Lake St. Clair

The perch are still at Gino’s and south.  Jigs with minnows and jigs with waxworms are the ticket.  7-10 feet of water is the place to be.  From the reports we’ve been getting, late morning to early afternoon have been the best times to catch the fish.  These fish seem to school by size, so if you’re catching dinks you may want to move.

We’ve also  been getting reports of some panfish being caught north of Gino’s towards Metro.  Use the same gear as above.  It seems the schools are more tightly concentrated and it may take a few holes to get into them.  Received a few reports of panfish coming from the canals in that area, but nothing consistent.

Warmer weather and an unblocked St. Clair River may make the ice a bit more unstable this weekend, so be careful.  Good luck fishermen.

Getting reports of the perch hitting anything and everything out from Gino’s Surf.  Get to 7-10 feet of water drill your hole and have fun.  Things seem to really heat up around mid-morning.  I’ve heard reports of perch from 7-11 inches with a few jumbos coming on teardrops with spikes and jigs with minnows, but I’d try whatever you have.  Good luck and be safe on the ice.
