iFish Lake St. Clair

We’ve been getting some reports of walleye being caught on harnesses down by the dumping grounds.  Guys have been fishing with copper, red and white blades.  We’ve also had some reports of walleye coming off the 400 club on harnesses as well.  The earlier the better to get these fish. With the recent rain you may need to switch up the colors as the water should have more colors to it.  Good luck.

Been a while since our last report, so here you go with the most up to date Lake St. Clair fishing report on the web.

Smallmouth Bass Report

Lots of reports of some smallies being caught off the mile roads.  The fish are in deeper water – 12 to 14 feet.  Go for the usual tubes and cranks in natural colors.  Also getting reports of some nice bass being caught off of Metro Beach in 10-12 feet of water.  Go for tubes and try some Erie Darters and DS Darters on a drop-shot rig.  Set yourself up for a good drift once you find the weed beds.  Stick to the edges.

Perch Report

Steady reports of perch being caught off of the St. Clair Light area.  Set-up around 15 feet of water with perch rigs and emerald shiners.  You’ll have to weed through some small ones, but some jumbos are out there.

Musky Report

Reports from the Salt River area of Anchor Bay from casters and trollers.  Big blades and big tubes for the caster and body baits in perch and jailbird colors have been catching fish.  Get near the weed beds in 12 feet of water.  Grassy island has given up some fish as well.  Towards the south end of the lake we’ve been getting reports from the Dumping Grounds.  Try different depths as the fish are fluctuating based on cloud cover and temperature.

Walleye Report

Getting some reports of walleye being taken out by the Firecracker on planer boards.  Guys are fishing natural colored bombers and rapalas. haven’t heard a depth, but you’ll probably see a few guys out there.

That’s is for now. Good luck and be safe.

Well it’s that time of year again when the fishflies (mayflies) hatch and fish get full bellies. Fish with full bellies are harder to catch.  Still getting some reports of walleye being caught in the dumping grounds area on crawler harnesses.  Smallmouth are still plentiful but are starting to move to their post-spawn deeper water haunts.  Unfortunately, there haven’t been a lot of reports lately to relay as many fishermen are not catching many fish.  Musky have been fairly active around Grassy Island and the Salt River area both casting and trolling.  Go with the perch colors for the toothy critters.  Hopefully the flies will end soon.  Good luck.
