  • Summary

  • As of October 25, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake St. Clair is experiencing the typical challenges of late fall, with windy conditions affecting angler activity.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather has been quite windy, which has slowed down fishing activity significantly. However, for those brave enough to venture out, the winds are expected to ease slightly today. Sunrise was at around 7:48 AM, and sunset is anticipated at about 6:15 PM.

    ### Fish Activity
    Despite the windy conditions, anglers have still managed to catch some fish. Panfish, particularly near Selfridge, have been biting on small artificial lures in natural baitfish colors on slip bobbers. Yellow perch have been caught in low numbers from the shipping channel near the St. Clair Lighthouse and in the mouths of the middle and south channels. Walleye have been reported between the spillway and the Metropark in 13 to 15 feet of water, as well as in the channel mouths at around 19 feet of water. Small muskellunge have also been caught near the spillway.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For panfish and perch, small artificial lures in natural baitfish colors on slip bobbers are working well. For walleye, anglers have had success using jigging techniques with blade baits or soft plastics. Muskellunge are being caught using larger lures that mimic their natural prey.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Near Selfridge**: This area has been productive for panfish using small artificial lures.
    - **Between the Spillway and Metropark**: Walleye are being caught here in 13 to 15 feet of water.
    - **Channel Mouths**: Both walleye and perch are being caught in these areas, particularly in 19 feet of water.

    If you're planning to head out today, be prepared for some wind, but the fish are still biting in the right spots. Good luck on the water
