iFish Lake St. Clair

Stopped by Gino’s and there were a few guys still out there fishing. They were catching some perch on teardrops with minnows. The fish were decent, but the ice was not. The same goes for the Selfridge area. Guys are going through, but luckily the water is down. A 3-wheeler broke through the other day by Anglers Point Marina. There have been some guys catching some nice perch in Anchor Bay, but beware of the ice. I don’t recommend anyone heading out and think this is it for the ice. I’m ready for Spring anyway. How about you?

The ice is a bit tricky for fishing.  The main lake is breaking down quickly, but there is some ice in protected areas.  Not many reports except for the canals.  Getting reports of some gills and crappie being taken in the Metro Beach area canals and marina. Be careful as there is a bit of a current that runs down the Black Creek.  Good luck and be safe.

The ice is rapidly melting and some warm winds are blowing.  Time to be careful on the main lake.  Nobody wants to take a helicopter ride from the Coast Guard.  Getting some reports of perch being taken from the Gino’s Surf area.  One tip you may find crazy, but always seems to be true this time of year is watching for squirrel and bird activity before you head out.  If the animals are busy, the fish should be hitting as well.  The canals should still be good for some time.  Crappies and gills are being taken in the canals around the Metro Beach area.  Most reports have fish coming on minnows.  It won’t be long until Spring is here, so enjoy the ice while you can.  Be safe.
