  • Late Fall Fishing on Lake St. Clair: Walleye, Perch, and Smallmouth Bass Thrive in Comfortable Conditions

    Late Fall Fishing on Lake St. Clair: Walleye, Perch, and Smallmouth Bass Thrive in Comfortable Conditions
    Nov 23 2024
    As of November 23, 2024, here’s a local's perspective on the fishing conditions at Lake St. Clair, Michigan:

    Today, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with temperatures ranging from the mid-30s to mid-40s Fahrenheit, making it a typical late fall day. Sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:45 PM.

    Tidal conditions, although not as significant on Lake St. Clair as on coastal waters, are influenced by the Detroit River. However, the water levels and currents can still affect fishing, especially near the river mouth.

    Yesterday's fishing reports indicated a decent day for anglers. Fish activity has been steady, particularly for walleye and perch. Several anglers reported catching a good number of walleyes, especially in the deeper waters near the Detroit River and around Harsens Island. Perch fishing has also been productive, with many anglers finding success in the shallower bays and weed beds.

    For walleye, jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers are working well. Some anglers are also using crankbaits and spinner rigs to good effect. For perch, small jigs with maggots or small minnows are the go-to choices.

    Smallmouth bass are still active, especially in the cooler temperatures. Using lures like the Great Lakes Finesse drop worm, particularly in green pumpkin with purple flake, has been successful in finding bass in the deeper weed patches.

    Hot spots include the areas around Harsens Island, the Detroit River mouth, and the shallow bays like Anchor Bay. These areas tend to hold a mix of walleye, perch, and smallmouth bass.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on Lake St. Clair, with a variety of species active and the cooler weather making for comfortable fishing conditions. Just make sure to bundle up and stay warm.

  • Fall Fishing Report for Lake St. Clair, Michigan: Steady Walleye and Perch Catches Amidst Changing Conditions

    Fall Fishing Report for Lake St. Clair, Michigan: Steady Walleye and Perch Catches Amidst Changing Conditions
    Nov 22 2024
    As of November 22, 2024, here’s a local’s perspective on the fishing conditions at Lake St. Clair, Michigan.

    First off, the weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with temperatures ranging from the mid-30s to mid-40s Fahrenheit, which is typical for this time of year. Sunrise was at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:50 PM.

    Tidal conditions, although not as critical for inland lakes like Lake St. Clair, are influenced by the water levels of the connecting Great Lakes. Currently, water levels are stable, but it's always a good idea to check local reports for any changes.

    Yesterday's fishing reports indicated a decent day for anglers. Fish activity has been steady, particularly for walleye and perch. Several anglers reported catching a good number of walleyes, with some reaching up to 20 inches in length. Perch were also plentiful, with many anglers filling their limits.

    For walleye, the best lures to use right now are jigs tipped with minnows or nightcrawlers. Some anglers have also had success with crankbaits, especially those that mimic baitfish. For perch, small jigs with maggots or tiny crankbaits are working well.

    Hot spots include the areas around Harsens Island and the channels near Anchor Bay. These spots have been producing consistent results for both walleye and perch. Another good spot is the Mile Roads, especially for smallmouth bass, although the bass activity has slowed down a bit with the colder temperatures.

    Remember to check your gear before you head out, as the colder weather can affect your equipment. Also, be mindful of the changing weather conditions, as wind and rain can quickly alter fishing conditions on Lake St. Clair.

    Overall, it's a great time to get out on the water and enjoy some fall fishing on Lake St. Clair.

  • "Chilly Fishing Conditions at Lake St. Clair: Walleye, Perch, and Smallmouth Bass Thriving"

    "Chilly Fishing Conditions at Lake St. Clair: Walleye, Perch, and Smallmouth Bass Thriving"
    Nov 21 2024
    As of November 21, 2024, here’s a local’s perspective on the fishing conditions at Lake St. Clair, Michigan.

    First off, the weather is quite chilly, with temperatures in the mid-40s to low 50s Fahrenheit, which is typical for this time of year. The sunrise was at around 7:30 AM, and sunset is expected around 4:50 PM. The winds are moderate, coming from the northwest at about 10-15 mph, which can affect the water conditions.

    Tidal influences are minimal on Lake St. Clair since it is a freshwater lake, but the water levels can fluctuate slightly due to wind and precipitation.

    Yesterday’s fishing reports indicated a decent day for anglers. Fish activity has been steady, particularly for walleye and perch. Several anglers reported catching walleyes in the 2-4 pound range, mainly using jigs with minnows or nightcrawlers. Perch fishing was also good, with many catching them in the 8-12 inch range using small jigs tipped with maggots or small minnows.

    For those targeting smallmouth bass, the Mile Roads area and the waters around Harsens Island have been hot spots. Bass were caught using soft plastics and crankbaits.

    If you're looking to catch muskie, the areas around the St. Clair River and the north channel have shown some activity. Muskie anglers have been using large bucktail spinners and jerk baits.

    In terms of specific lures and bait, for walleye, try using a jig with a minnow or nightcrawler. For perch, small jigs with maggots or small minnows are effective. For smallmouth bass, soft plastics like curly tail grubs or crankbaits in shad patterns have been working well.

    Hot spots to consider include the waters around Metro Beach, especially the areas behind Selfridge Air National Guard Base, and the Anchor Bay region. These areas have consistently produced good catches of walleye, perch, and smallmouth bass.

    Overall, it's a good time to get out on the water at Lake St. Clair, just make sure to bundle up against the cold.
