iFish Lake St. Clair

Smallmouth fishing report from the weed beds in front of Metro in 7-9 feet of water. Reports of some decent success on 8/27. The beds are straight out from the daysail/PWC launch. One report stated picked up 6 fish ranging from 2.5 – 4 pounds in about an hour. Water was a bit dirty and we were pitching green pumpkin w/chartreuse tubes around the edges of the beds. Good luck.

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

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.
