iFish Lake St. Clair

Well there have been some guys fishing off the shore and getting some perch and sunfish.  Guys have been catching some perch off the pier by the Coast Guard station behind Blossom Heath.  They have been using perch rigs with minnows, but have been catching a lot of small fish.  There have also been some reports coming from the point off of Metro each, but the fish have also been on the small size there as well.  The colder temps have made some ice in the Metro back basin and some guys have been venturing out on it.  Mostly reports of small sunfish coming from that area.  Unfortunately not a great report, but there are some fish being caught.  There are a couple docks in at the Crocker launch and a few guys have been getting boats out.  Reports have been scattered on the perch with some guys heading up to Gino’s and taking a few fish.  Good luck and be safe.

Well we’ve finally got some cold weather and we are making some ice, but most of it sucks.  There are some canals frozen in the northern end of the lake around The Raft bar, and even some ice out in the bay.  It’s frozen there because the water is fairly shallow and I’ve received no reports of any good fishing. Canals are starting to harden in the New Baltimore area, but take extreme caution.  There should be perch in these canals if you can find canals that are deep enough and allow you enough good ice to get towards the mouth. I know that certain parts of the lake are pretty dirty right now, so trying to find clean water would be best.  Good luck out there and be safe.

Well fishermen, there is not any trust worthy ice on the lake yet. There is some ice in the canals, but it’s far from safe at this point. We still need several consistent days and nights of really cold weather. We continue to receive reports of perch being taken from the shore, but there are a lot of small ones. Try canals, marinas and places like Ford’s Cove. The baitfish are stacked up in these areas. Good luck and be safe.
