As of November 2, 2024, here’s a detailed fishing report for Lake St. Clair, Michigan.
### Weather and Tidal Conditions
Today, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 55°F and a low of 45°F. Winds will be moderate, coming from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Given Lake St. Clair’s location, tidal influences are minimal, but water levels can fluctuate slightly due to wind and river flow.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 7:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:53 PM, providing a decent window for both morning and evening fishing trips.
### Fish Activity
Fish activity has been steady, especially for species like walleye, yellow perch, and smallmouth bass. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a good number of walleyes, particularly in the deeper areas of the lake. Yellow perch were also active, especially around the weed beds and drop-offs.
### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
Yesterday saw a mix of catches, with walleyes ranging from 15 to 22 inches, and yellow perch averaging 8-12 inches. Smallmouth bass were also caught, mostly in the 2-4 pound range. Rock bass and silver bass were also reported in smaller numbers.
### Best Lures and Bait
For walleyes, jigging with minnows or using crankbaits in shad patterns have been effective. Yellow perch are biting well on small jigs tipped with maggots or tiny minnows. Smallmouth bass are responding to soft plastics like curly tail grubs and crankbaits in natural colors.
### Hot Spots
- **Anchor Bay**: Known for its walleye and perch fishing, this area has been producing consistent catches.
- **Harsens Island**: This spot is a favorite for smallmouth bass and walleye, especially around the island's rocky shores and weed beds.
- **Metro Beach**: This area has seen a lot of activity for rock bass and silver bass, and it's also a good spot for catching walleyes.
Overall, Lake St. Clair is offering some great fishing opportunities as we head into the late fall season. Make sure to check the local fishing regulations and obtain any necessary permits before you head out.
