  • Late Season Walleye and Perch Bite on Lake St. Clair

    Late Season Walleye and Perch Bite on Lake St. Clair
    Dec 5 2025
    Winds on Lake St. Clair today are running light to moderate out of the west-northwest, with air temps starting near freezing at first light and climbing into the upper 30s to low 40s by mid‑day. Skies are on the cloudy side, with scattered breaks, so expect a classic gray‑on‑gray late‑season feel on the open lake. Sunrise is right around 7:45 a.m. with sunset just before 5 p.m., giving you a short but productive daylight window if you time it around those low‑light periods.

    Lake St. Clair doesn’t have real ocean tides, but water levels are nudging up and down with wind‑driven seiche and Detroit River flow, so watch for subtle current sliding along points and channel edges. That faint push of water is lining up fish on inside turns of the St. Clair River shipping channel and on the breaks off the Mile Roads. When you find the “just right” drift speed—about a slow walk—you’re in the zone.

    Recent action has centered on walleye and perch, with a sprinkling of smallmouth for those still grinding the offshore structure. Anglers running the river and the south shore have been boxing decent numbers of eaters in the 15–20 inch range, with the occasional bigger walleye pushing over 24. Perch reports have been spotty but solid where they’re found, with mixed packs of 8–11 inch fish and enough jumbos to keep it interesting.

    For walleye, keep it simple and local: handlining or trolling stickbaits and smaller crankbaits in natural shiner, gold, and perch patterns are putting fish in the net. When boat traffic is light, vertical jigging with 3/8 to 1/2 ounce jigs tipped with emerald shiners or soft plastics in chartreuse, silver, or purple is hard to beat. Perch hunters are doing best anchoring on small pods of fish and dropping down perch rigs with live minnows or waxies, keeping the rig just off bottom to stay above the zebra mussels.

    Smallmouth are in their wintering haunts, but there are still bites to be had if you commit. Dragging tube jigs in green pumpkin, goby, or smoke over deep rock and edges, or working a blade bait with slow, short hops, will pick off some heavy bronzebacks. Let the bait sit more than you think; those cold‑water fish are striking on the pause rather than the pull.

    A couple of hot spots to circle:
    - The Mile Roads off St. Clair Shores—especially 9 and 10 Mile—are still giving up walleye and perch on the deeper breaks when the wind lines up your drift.
    - The mouth of the South Channel and the shipping channel edges near the Belle River and Selfridge areas are producing good mixed bags for folks pulling cranks and working jigs along the current seams.

    Overall fish activity today will peak around dawn and again late afternoon as the light drops, so line up your best drifts in those windows and slow everything down. Dress warm, keep an eye on that west wind, and be ready to move 50–100 yards at a time until you land on a school—once you get that first bite, double down on that exact depth and speed.

  • Lake St. Clair Fishing Report: Early Winter Tactics for Walleye, Perch, and Smallmouth

    Lake St. Clair Fishing Report: Early Winter Tactics for Walleye, Perch, and Smallmouth
    Dec 5 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Lake St. Clair fishing rundown, straight from a local’s mindset.

    ## Weather and light

    Expect classic early‑winter conditions: cold air, water temps in the mid‑30s to very low‑40s, light to moderate west or northwest winds, and the real feel much colder once you’re out in the open basin. Dress for spray and wind, not the driveway. Sunrise is right around 7:45 a.m. and sunset near 5 p.m., so the productive light window is short and low‑angle. Those dim, gray days actually help the bite, especially for walleye and perch.

    ## Water, “tide,” and fish mood

    Lake St. Clair doesn’t really have ocean tides; instead, water levels slide a bit with wind and seiche. On a west or northwest breeze, expect a slight push of water toward the Detroit River and a bit less level on the American side shorelines. That subtle current plus cold water has fish glued to edges and breaks. Overall activity is sluggish but steady: it’s a grind, not a fireworks show. Downsized presentations and slow, methodical drifts are the name of the game.

    ## What’s biting and how

    Recent chatter around the marinas has centered on three main targets:
    - Walleyes: Good numbers sliding through the channels and along the river mouths, with keepers mixed in. Most are coming tight to bottom on slow vertical presentations.
    - Perch: Smaller pods, but enough for a fry if you stay on them; expect more sorting than in October.
    - Smallmouth: Largely a deeper‑water play now; fewer bites, but solid fish for those dragging slow and deep.

    ## Best lures and bait

    For walleye, think subtle and slow:
    - 3/8 to 1/2 oz jig heads tipped with emerald shiners or fatheads, barely hopped or simply held just off bottom.
    - Blade baits and Jigging Raps in natural shad or gold patterns, worked with short lifts and long pauses.

    For perch:
    - Standard perch rigs with two small Aberdeen hooks and a 1/2–3/4 oz sinker, baited with minnows or waxies.
    - Very small tungsten or teardrop jigs under a sensitive float in the marinas and canals.

    For smallmouth:
    - Carolina‑rigged or drop‑shot plastics in green pumpkin and smoke, dragged along deep rock or shipping‑channel edges.
    - Heavy tube jigs (1/2 oz) crawled painfully slow.

    ## Local hot spots

    Two areas stand out right now:
    - The mouth of the Detroit River and the South Channel edges: great for drifting walleyes with jigs and blades, especially in that mid‑morning and late‑afternoon window.
    - Near‑shore marinas and canal mouths on the American side, from St. Clair Shores north toward the Clinton River: perch and the odd bonus walleye or pike nosing in on the remaining bait.

    Work slow, watch your electronics, and once you find even a couple of marks, make short, repeated passes instead of roaming.
