St. Clair Fishing Report

Anglers – We need your fishing reports. Please send them in!

Perch: Anglers have been catching lots of perch roughly two miles out off of 9 Mile Road. In fact, many anglers report limiting out on jumbo perch this week. Anglers are taking perch with Reillys perch rigs and shiners. Buy them here at the shop. Fishing has also been really good in front of the 400 Club.

Muskies: There was a big muskie tournament this past weekend. The winning fish was 52 3/4”. A winner in any tournament that’s for sure! All the big fish were taken on the Canadian side near Thames River. Best baits are Lokey lures and Spankies and Grandma lures.

Smallmouth: Bass fishing has been slow. At this time of the year, the best bait S and L Chruncher baits (tube and a jig), golden shiners, and live crayfish. Sponsors (Anglers Dream) of a big bass tournament coming up this weekend hope the fish start getting hungry again. The tournament will go out of Wayne County’s Elizabeth Park marina in Trenton (info here). If you are in this tournament, please be sure to send us your fishing report.

Also at the shop, we have free sturgeon tags. Each angler is permitted one tag in Michigan waters. Watch that minimum size!
