  • Résumé

  • As of November 16, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake St. Clair is quite vibrant, despite the late fall season. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tides
    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to the mid-50s Fahrenheit. Winds will be moderate, coming from the northwest at about 10-15 mph. Tides, although not as critical for freshwater fishing, still influence the water levels and currents, especially near the Detroit and St. Clair rivers. Expect a relatively stable water level today.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at around 7:00 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:45 PM, giving you a good window of daylight to fish.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity is still robust, especially for species like smallmouth bass and walleye. Smallmouth bass are active in the 15 to 16-foot depths, often found halfway out to the middle of the lake. Walleye are also biting well, particularly in areas like the Detroit River, St. Clair River, and along the mudlines near Harley Ensign and Metro Beach.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of smallmouth bass, walleye, and some perch. The smallmouth bass were abundant, with several catches reported in the 3-5 pound range. Walleye were also plentiful, with many anglers catching them in the 2-4 pound range.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For smallmouth bass, using soft plastics like curly tail grubs or crankbaits in shad patterns has been effective. For walleye, jigging with minnows or using spinner rigs with nightcrawlers are good choices. The key is to fish in areas with the right water color; greenish water tends to produce more bites than clear water.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Metro Beach and Harley Ensign**: These areas have been producing a lot of walleye, especially along the mudlines.
    - **The Canadian Side**: This area is known for better quality fish, especially during tournaments, and is a good spot to try your luck for both smallmouth bass and walleye.
    - **The Detroit and St. Clair Rivers**: These rivers continue to yield good catches of walleye, making them excellent spots to fish.

    Overall, Lake St. Clair remains a great destination for late fall fishing, with plenty of opportunities to catch a variety of species. Just make sure to dress warmly and be prepared for the changing weather conditions.
