Wonderful Lake St. Clair Walleyes

Caught on a harness and bottom bouncer

Amid the reports of great muskie fishing and big bass being landed by many anglers, the wonderful walleye is still going strong. Here’s a photo of Nick Milke who managed this terrific stringer in the Dumping Grounds near the marker can #16. He caught all these fish using a Reilly’s walleye harness with a bottom bouncer.

Into the store came Laureen Lopiccolo. She was delighted to show off her 5lb, 8oz, 22″ smallie. That smile tells it all! Laureen caught the fish using a slip bobber and shiner minnow. But we weren’t able to get her to tell us where she landed it. No matter. Bass like this are being hooked all over the lake. Come into Lakeside for the best baits during the August dog days.

Shiners bring in the big bass!

Is there any doubt that Lake St. Clair is the greatest freshwater destination fishery in the world? Given these photos, and all the stories we are hearing about size and quantity of muskies being hooked this year, we just have to laugh when others from around the country ask, “Where’s Lake St. Clair?”

It’s here baby, and this is how we rock!

Dale H. from Grosse Pointe and a couple of buddies hooked this 54″ muskie near the weather bouy on Wednesday evening. In just three hours before nightfall, they hooked 10 fish and landed 8 including this one which weighed 37-pounds. Best bait that night was a gold bucktail.

And they missed the MOMC tournament!

The Lakeside Fishing Shop gang got out of the store and went fishing. They were 8 for 10 in four hours of fishing and the best lure of the day was a gold Spanky. That’s Charlie Brown, Captain Dan, young Dan McGherty and Richard Atoms. Come into Lakeside and ask Richard what he used to land his fish.

Do you think Richard will tell you what he caught it on?

Walleyes are doing great in the lake, too. Don’t forget them! Best location seems to be south of the Dumping Grounds. Reilly’s harnesses are the bait to buy. Use them with 2-oz. bottom bouncers. Here’s a picture of the hottest blade colors including a new color – blueberry muffin.

Hot Summer Fishing on Lake St. Clair

The fishing has been about as hot as the weather lately. Check out these two bass caught in the lake by Jim Glantzer and Cody Mines. Jim’s fish is 21 1/4 inches long and weighed 5lb, 6oz. He hooked it on live bait. Cody’s fish was also caught on live bait and his smallie is 19 3/4″ and weighs 4lb, 8oz.

Nice smallies from Lake St. Clair

And how about this muskie caught by Nathan Giszewski on a Reilly’s nightcrawler rig in the dumping grounds early last week. A fabulous fish and he made the board for the Lakeside Fishing Contest with his catch. It is 50″ long.
