Dominic Opipari leads in the walleye category.  He landed his 8 lb., 28 1/4″ walleye in Lake Erie near Breast Bay.  He was fishing a Reilly’s Firetiger crawler harness.

This walleye leads the contest

Walleyes continue strong on the Detroit River.  Either side of the river is good.  Anglers are reporting excellent catches down by the steel mill. Wind in the afternoon is a problem.  Best advice is to get up and out there early in the day.  Best baits are gold jigs and Fin-S minnows.

Bass are also very strong and should continue to be in Lake St. Clair.  Go to the 9-Mile tower and Metro Beach.   Fish around the Point Huron area there.  Also the Jefferson Marina and all the mile roads seem to be fishing really well for bass.

Stories of many smaller muskies this week from the south shoreline of the Canadian shore.  Belle River and the Dumping Grounds seem to be best bets.  Anglers report that perch-colored baits are working the best.

Anglers now turn to hunting or river steelhead as we enter Lake St. Clair’s in-between season.   Anglers await the ice.  Until then the bass, perch and walleye are given a break.

Fall leaves and an empty boat well are sure signs of the ice to come.
