Lake St. Clair Fishing Report: Walleye, Perch, and Bass Feeding Aggressively Before Winter

Good morning, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Lake St. Clair fishing report for Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025.

Let's start with the conditions out there today. We're looking at easterly winds at 15.5 knots with wave heights around 2 feet—manageable stuff if you're heading out. Air temperature is sitting at 46 degrees, water temp holding steady at 53 degrees. It's a bit chilly, but that's December on the Great Lakes for you. Barometric pressure is falling slightly at 30.15 inches, which can actually fire up the bite.

Now, here's what's been happening on St. Clair lately. The walleye action has been excellent—and I mean excellent. We've been seeing fantastic perch catches as well, along with solid bass activity. Evening topwater and crankbait fishing have been producing some real quality fish. The water's in that late fall transition, and the fish are feeding aggressively before winter really locks things down.

For your presentation, dead eyes and live eye baits are absolutely crushing it right now. If you prefer artificials, crankbaits are your go-to, especially in the evening bite. That's when the topwater action really comes alive. Don't sleep on evening fishing—that's prime time.

For specific hotspots, focus on the deeper channels and drop-offs around the main lake basin. Early in the day, work the shallower transition zones where perch congregate. As evening approaches, move to slightly deeper structure where walleye and bass stage up for the night bite.

Thanks for tuning in, folks! Don't forget to subscribe for your daily reports right here on the water.
