As of October 13, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake St. Clair is looking promising, especially with the fall season in full swing. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Tidal Conditions
The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 62 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 48 degrees. Winds will be moderate, coming from the northwest at about 10 mph. Since Lake St. Clair is a freshwater lake, tidal changes are not a factor, but water levels can fluctuate slightly due to wind and precipitation.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is at 7:43 AM, and sunset will be at 6:34 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, particularly for walleye, muskie, and perch. Walleye anglers had success trolling with crawler harnesses in the mouth of the middle channel and near the Sni.
### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
Walleye were caught in moderate numbers, especially in the deeper parts of the shipping channel around 45 feet of water. Muskie fishing, although slow, showed some promise near the spillway as cooler fall temperatures drop the water temperatures. Perch anglers found success east of Stoney Point in 24 feet of water and near the dumping grounds in 17 to 19 feet of water.
### Best Lures and Bait
For walleye, crawler harnesses and magnum spoons in black, green, and orange colors have been productive. Muskie anglers should try using j-plugs and large spinnerbaits. Perch fishing has been best with perch rigs and live minnows or worms.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots is near buoy 12 in the shipping channel, where anglers have caught walleye, muskie, and catfish in around 45 feet of water. Another good spot is east of Stoney Point, where perch anglers have found success in 24 feet of water.
Overall, Lake St. Clair is offering a mix of species and good fishing conditions, making it a great time to get out on the water. Just remember to adjust your tactics as the fall temperatures continue to drop.
