St. Clair Fishing Report

The weather this weekend promises to be fine.  Highs in the low 80’s with cool evenings.  Very low chance of rain Friday through Sunday.

Get out there and catch a muskie like the one below sent to us from our friend Lee Powell who is a long-time Lake St. Clair angler.  No word from Lee what he used to catch the fish but we’re glad he sent it our way.  This note from Lee accompanied the photos:  I fished in Lake St. Clair about 10 years off and on and caught many musky over the years. Finished fourth once on St. Clair.  Oh well.  No place on that lake that you can’t catch fish.  Lake St. Clair is the greatest by far.  Lee Powell, (The Banana Boat).   We agree Lee!

Another big muskie from Lake St. Clair

Where to fish this weekend:

An August 20 entry from the Lake St. Clair Walleye Association website fishing report:  Pulled BB’s and in lines, by buoy 25 area American side, got 5 nice ‘eyes, then dark.  Moved to SC area picked a few more up with wire, I got bigger fish by 25 area. 6 to 17 f.o.w. weeds and more weeds. Fish are there. 

From Captain Dan at Lakeside Fishing Shop:  Jiggers are dong well on the Detroit River near the Casino, the Sand Pile, Fighting Island and the Belle Isle Bridge.  Lots of muskie action at Pike’s Creek and Puce River.  Also a 21.14” smallmouth bass was landed from that area caught on an 8” perch Believer muskie bait.  Grosse Pointe Yacht Club and the Dumping Grounds in America waters is really hot.  Fish the Belle River Hump too with harnesses and crawlers.  Fish the 400 Club area in 14-16’ of water.  Anglers are reporting lots of perch and bass there.
