iFish Lake St. Clair

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.

If you have a GPS here’s the waypoint: N 42° 37.032′ W 82° 49.057′

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.

Report of smallmouth starting to stack up at the mile roads.  From 8-15 feet of water seems to be the ticket.  Try the usual lipless and shallow to medium diving cranks.  Water temperature is cooling down into the mid 50′s which should get that fall feed cranking.
