St. Clair Fishing Report

A quick report today.  With the beautiful weather we’ve got, get out there and go fishing.

Walleyes:  We’re hearing all sorts of stories about big walleyes being caught in the Detroit River.  Fish up to 9 and 10 pounds are being caught all along the river from the mouth to the steel mills near Gibraltar.  A young man came into the shop this week after catching an 11 pound, 11-oz. walleye on a Finn-S soft baits.  We didn’t get the color so you’ll have to experiment for yourself.

Perch:  Perch are being caught now at the 400 Club and near Metro Beach.  Put a minnow or two on a Reilly’s perch rig.  Fish in 7-12’ of water and have some fun.

Northerns:  Use Dardevles and spinners for northerns in shallow water and in the weeds.  The word is Metro Beach is the hot spot for northern’s.
