St. Clair Fishing Report

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.
