  • Lake St. Clair Fishing Report: Walleye Blitz, Smallmouth Rebound as Spawn Approaches

    Lake St. Clair Fishing Report: Walleye Blitz, Smallmouth Rebound as Spawn Approaches
    May 18 2025
    Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake St. Clair fishing report for this beautiful Sunday morning, May 18, 2025.

    The walleye bite is absolutely on fire right now across the entire Lake St. Clair system. Folks have been loading up on limits from the Detroit River all the way up through the St. Clair River. You've got options on how to catch 'em too - some guys are jigging, others are drifting, and plenty are pulling nightcrawler harnesses. If you're a night angler, the whipping bite has been hot and heavy as well.

    For the smallmouth bass enthusiasts, things have been a bit of a roller coaster lately. After a slowdown in early May due to high winds muddying the water, the bite has picked back up as we've moved into the pre-spawn period. Water temps are hovering around 58 degrees, with bass staging in shallow areas. The middle of Anchor Bay has been productive, and anglers have also reported success near Memorial Park and the 9 Mile area.

    Lure-wise, the Great Lakes Finesse 2.5" Juvy Craw has been absolute money for smallmouth. Paired with a light line and finesse tactics in shallow water, you'll be in business. The Sneaky Underspin swimbait from the same company has also been getting crushed when the fish are more aggressive.

    If you're heading out today, I'd recommend hitting the mouth of the South Channel with nightcrawler harnesses for walleye. For smallmouth, focus on shallow staging areas with clear water. A medium-heavy spinning setup with that Juvy Craw or a tube jig will do the trick.

    Hot spots to check out: Garrett Samill's clients have been crushing limits in both the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers, so either of those are solid bets for walleye. For smallmouth, the 9 Mile area and Memorial Park have been consistent producers.

    Rod and reel recommendation: A 7'3" to 7'6" medium-heavy spinning rod will handle most of what Lake St. Clair throws at you, whether you're tossing swimbaits for smallmouth or jigging for walleye.

    Conditions look decent today, and with the spawn activities in full swing, there's no better time to get out on the water. The fish are there for the taking, folks - just gotta find 'em!

    This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines and good luck out there on Lake St. Clair today!

  • Lake St Clair Fishing Report: Smallmouth Surge, Walleye Trickle, and More

    Lake St Clair Fishing Report: Smallmouth Surge, Walleye Trickle, and More
    May 17 2025
    Good morning anglers this is Artificial Lure with your Lake St Clair fishing report for Saturday May 17 2025.

    The sun rose this morning at 601 AM and will set at 859 PM giving you a full day to chase fish on the water. Weather’s shaping up seasonal with light winds and temps in the low 60s early, warming up into the 70s by midday. Some patchy clouds are drifting through, but overall it looks like a comfortable day to be on the lake. There’s no real tidal swing on Lake St Clair but wind direction can move water and stir up clarity especially after a blow.

    Water levels are up after a recent stretch of winds, and the water is slightly stained in spots especially in Anchor Bay and along the Mile Roads. After last week’s high wind muddied things up, clarity is starting to come back especially on the west and south shores. Water temps are now hovering around 58 degrees which has the smallmouth in classic prespawn mode.

    Smallmouth bass are the main attraction right now and they’ve been on fire when you find them shallow. The bite was a little tougher right after the blow a week ago, but things are picking up as the water clears. Anglers are reporting solid catches in the middle of Anchor Bay, along the Mile Roads, and near the mouth of the Clinton River. Fish are staging and starting to move up to beds. Look for active smallmouth in 4 to 7 feet of water around scattered rock and emerging weedbeds. Most fish are running 2 to 4 pounds with some bigger bronzebacks showing up—five-pounders have definitely hit the nets this week.

    Best lures lately have been the Great Lakes Finesse Juvy Craw and Sneaky Underspin with a swimbait trailer. Tube jigs and small swimbaits in green pumpkin or shad colors are also top picks. Finesse presentations on spinning gear are getting it done, especially when the bite is finicky in clearing water. Remember to work your baits slow and let them soak in promising spots.

    A few random largemouth bass are mixed in with the smallies, especially in the thicker weeds inside the bays. Perch catches have slowed but you might find a few near the Metropark and the weed edges off Harley Ensign. Walleye reports from the channel mouths are sporadic but a few anglers trolling crankbaits just after sunset have picked up some nice eaters.

    Hot spots for this weekend include the Mile Roads from 9 Mile to 13 Mile, the flats off Metro Beach, and the mouth of the Thames River on the Ontario side for those with proper licenses. The middle of Anchor Bay has also been good for those drifting or casting tubes.

    That’s your Lake St Clair report for May 17. Get out there and enjoy the spring bite. Good luck and tight lines!

  • Smallmouth Staging on Lake St. Clair: Finesse Tactics and Pockets of Clearer Water

    Smallmouth Staging on Lake St. Clair: Finesse Tactics and Pockets of Clearer Water
    May 16 2025
    Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure here with the local word on fishing Lake St. Clair for Friday, May 16, 2025. Sunrise hit today around 5:58 am and sunset will come at 8:51 pm, giving you a long window to get lines in the water. There’s no meaningful tidal swing on St. Clair, but be mindful of wind—lately, it’s been stirring things up and that’s been muddying the water in some spots, especially after recent high-wind events.

    Water clarity is spotty, and that’s made smallmouth bass a bit finicky in areas, but folks working the middle of Anchor Bay and north around Memorial Park and the 9 Mile area have been pulling some nice fish when they locate pockets of clearer water. The bite’s definitely slower after the winds, but persistence is paying off[1][3].

    Smallmouth are mostly pre-spawn and staging shallow. Finesse tactics have been outperforming bulkier presentations. Anglers are doing well with a Great Lakes Finesse 2.5 inch Juvy Craw, light line, and long casts using a medium-heavy spinning rod. Tube jigs and dropshot rigs with natural-colored plastics have also gotten results. If you find yourself in dirtier water, try a brighter or slightly larger presentation to stand out[5].

    Largemouth bass are getting active in some of the weedy bays and marinas. Spinnerbaits and chatterbaits are worth tossing when the sun’s out, especially near structure. If you’re chasing panfish, the reports are thin, and no recent perch activity has been noted in the usual haunts[1].

    Hot spots to try today are the middle of Anchor Bay for smallies, focusing on 7 to 10 feet of water near the breaks, and Memorial Park down to the 9 Mile area. Shallow flats near Harley Ensign DNR launch have given up fish on calmer days. If the water’s muddy, move around until you find cleaner pockets—the action has been much better there.

    Weather today is mild, with light west winds early increasing as the day goes on, temps in the high 60s to low 70s, and partly cloudy skies. If the wind picks up this afternoon, try to find some shelter behind points or marinas where the water will be less stirred up.

    Get out there, stay mobile, and keep an eye on the weather. Good luck and tight lines from Artificial Lure!
