Walleye are the stars of the show on Lake St. Clair, and for good reason. These golden-eyed predators are known for their hard fights and delicious fillets. They average 2-5 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 10-pounder – they're out there! Walleye tend to hang out near the bottom, so you'll be using techniques like bottom bouncing and jigging to tempt them. They're most active during low light conditions, so early mornings and evenings can be prime time for the big ones.
Yellow Perch might not be the biggest fish in the lake, but they're a blast to catch and even better to eat. These feisty little guys often school up in huge numbers, so when you find them, it's non-stop action. They love to hang around weed beds and drop-offs, and they're suckers for a well-presented minnow or small jig. The best part? They're active year-round, so you've always got a shot at filling the cooler with these tasty panfish.
Bass fishing on Lake St. Clair is world-class, with both largemouth and smallmouth calling these waters home. Smallmouth bass, in particular, grow big and mean here, thanks to the lake's clear waters and abundant food supply. These bronze bruisers put up a fight that'll test your skills and your equipment. Captain Mike knows all the best structure – from rocky points to weed edges – where these bucketmouths love to ambush their prey. Topwater action in the summer months can be explosive, while drop-shotting deeper waters can produce all day long.
Lake St. Clair isn't just another fishing spot – it's a world-class fishery right in the heart of the Midwest. The lake's unique ecosystem, fed by both the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers, creates a perfect environment for fish to grow big and plentiful. Anglers from all over flock here for a shot at trophy walleye, jumbo perch, and hard-fighting bass. But it's not just about the fish – it's about the experience. The lake's relatively shallow depth means it warms up quickly in the spring, kicking off the fishing season earlier than many other spots. And with its proximity to major cities, you can go from urban hustle to fishing paradise in no time flat. Captain Mike's local knowledge means you're not just fishing, you're getting an insider's tour of one of the best lakes in the region.

Walleye are a prized catch here on Lake St. Clair. These gold-olive fish with distinctive reflective eyes typically run 15-25 inches and 2-5 pounds. You'll find them hanging around rocky areas and weed edges in 10-30 feet of water. Spring and fall are prime walleye seasons when water temps are in the 50s-60s. Anglers love targeting walleye for their delicious mild, flaky meat and the challenge of locating them. They're known for their light bite, so staying alert is key. These fish feed most actively at dawn and dusk. To boost your odds, try slow-trolling crawler harnesses along drop-offs. I like using bright chartreuse blades to trigger strikes in our sometimes murky water. When you feel that telltale tap-tap, set the hook hard - walleye have tough mouths. The fight isn't spectacular, but landing a chunky walleye is always satisfying. There's nothing quite like fresh walleye for dinner after a day on the water.
