  • Lake St. Clair Fishing Report: Walleye, Perch, and Bass Biting in Michigan's Fall Fishing Hotspot
    Nov 2 2024
    As of November 2, 2024, here’s a detailed fishing report for Lake St. Clair, Michigan.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    Today, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 55°F and a low of 45°F. Winds will be moderate, coming from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Given Lake St. Clair’s location, tidal influences are minimal, but water levels can fluctuate slightly due to wind and river flow.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:53 PM, providing a decent window for both morning and evening fishing trips.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity has been steady, especially for species like walleye, yellow perch, and smallmouth bass. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a good number of walleyes, particularly in the deeper areas of the lake. Yellow perch were also active, especially around the weed beds and drop-offs.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Yesterday saw a mix of catches, with walleyes ranging from 15 to 22 inches, and yellow perch averaging 8-12 inches. Smallmouth bass were also caught, mostly in the 2-4 pound range. Rock bass and silver bass were also reported in smaller numbers.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For walleyes, jigging with minnows or using crankbaits in shad patterns have been effective. Yellow perch are biting well on small jigs tipped with maggots or tiny minnows. Smallmouth bass are responding to soft plastics like curly tail grubs and crankbaits in natural colors.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Anchor Bay**: Known for its walleye and perch fishing, this area has been producing consistent catches.
    - **Harsens Island**: This spot is a favorite for smallmouth bass and walleye, especially around the island's rocky shores and weed beds.
    - **Metro Beach**: This area has seen a lot of activity for rock bass and silver bass, and it's also a good spot for catching walleyes.

    Overall, Lake St. Clair is offering some great fishing opportunities as we head into the late fall season. Make sure to check the local fishing regulations and obtain any necessary permits before you head out.

  • Fall Fishing Report for Lake St. Clair - Walleye, Perch, and Smallmouth Bass on the Move
    Nov 1 2024
    As of November 1st, fishing on Lake St. Clair is transitioning into the fall season, and the conditions are quite dynamic.

    ### Weather and Tidal Report
    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 55°F and a low of 45°F. Winds are moderate, coming from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Since Lake St. Clair is a freshwater lake connected to the Great Lakes system, it does not have tides, but water levels can fluctuate slightly due to wind and other environmental factors.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at 7:43 AM, and sunset is at 5:53 PM, giving anglers a good window to get out on the water.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity has been varied as the season changes. Walleye, which were more active in the summer, are now spreading out into deeper waters, particularly on the Canadian side of the lake. However, there are still plenty of walleye to be found in areas like "The Dumping Grounds" and the heavy weed beds.

    Perch fishing has been a bit of a roller coaster due to the recent weather fluctuations. Anglers have reported finding perch in shallow waters, especially around the 26 Can and the mouth of the South Channel. Using slip bobbers and fishing near pencil reeds and weed lines can be effective.

    Smallmouth bass are also active, often found in the same areas as perch, particularly in the cuts and shallow waters. Liv scope technology has been helping anglers locate larger schools of bait fish, which in turn helps in finding the bass.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of fish including walleye, perch, smallmouth bass, and even some sturgeon. The sturgeon catches have been notable, with the Michigan DNR recently reporting a large sturgeon measuring 75.2 inches and weighing 125 pounds.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For walleye, jigging with minnows or using crankbaits in deeper waters has been effective. For perch, small jigs tipped with minnows or maggots work well. Smallmouth bass are responding to soft plastics and crankbaits, especially in the shallower areas.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **The Dumping Grounds**: Known for its walleye and perch fishing, this area remains a hotspot even in the fall.
    - **Mouth of the South Channel**: This area is good for perch and smallmouth bass, especially in the shallow waters and weed lines.
    - **Harsens Island**: This island offers good fishing spots for various species, including walleye and smallmouth bass.

    Remember to check the local fishing regulations and ensure you have the necessary Michigan Recreational Passport if you plan to launch your boat at a DNR ramp. Enjoy your time on the water

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Yesterday saw a mix of catches, including walleyes, smallmouth bass, and some yellow perch. Walleye catches were more frequent in the deeper waters, while smallmouth bass were found in the rocky structures and weed beds. The average catch for walleyes was around 3-5 fish per boat, with some boats reporting up to 7-8 smallmouth bass.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For walleyes, jigging with minnows or using crankbaits in shad patterns has been effective. Smallmouth bass are responding well to soft plastics like curly tail grubs and tube jigs, as well as topwater baits in the shallower areas.

    ### Hot Spots
    Two hot spots to consider today are the areas around Harsens Island and the Mile Roads. Harsens Island offers a mix of rocky shores and weed beds that attract both walleyes and smallmouth bass. The Mile Roads, known for their submerged rock structures, are a favorite haunt for smallmouth bass.

    Overall, Lake St. Clair is providing some great fall fishing opportunities. Make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for the changing weather conditions. Good luck on the water
