Lake St. Clair Bass Fishing Report for March 23 2018 Cold weather cold water

By all measures it was brutally cold when we launched in the morning on Saturday September 2. A big shift from the warmer weather during the week. It was a planned trip so we kept on task to hit the shallow water in the First Nation Territory..Walpole. Little did we know that this day would […]

It is proving to be a busy week out on Lake St. Clair with the Elite tournament event about to be held. At the launch or on the water you can see and meet many of the professional bass anglers as they go about their business of finding smallmouth bass. As of Monday the fishing […]

North winds were up and gusting to 20 plus mph this day. It made areas and spots in the south part of the Lake less accessible so most of our efforts were focused in the north zone and the St. Clair River. In trips earlier in the week we have been doing well and had […]

The water was stained in the St. Clair River with about one foot of visibility. On both sides of the river there was a white foam floating on top along with an annoying amount of floating weed of many varieties. Nowhere can you see the effects of the high water better than in the river. […]

We have not gotten a break with the weather lately so we have to take what the Lake gives us. Persistent east winds will continue to be featured through the weekend and next week. Water temperature at the Mile Roads was 57 degrees Many thanks goes out to Neil Heisler who put in the call […]

It was one of those perfect fall days where the winds were low to dead calm and the bass were all schooled up. These kinds of days come along in the Fall where you can navigate the Lake with no wind to hold you back. There is a stretch of stable weather coming up next […]

It was one of those perfect October days where the sky was high the winds were low and expectations were set for finding schools of big smallmouth. We were not disappointed. In only a few hours we managed to find a school of quality smallmouth along the edge of the Belle River Hump. There was […]

It was a perfect day on the water. The winds were light and you could pick and choose what part of this huge body of water you wanted to go to. We chose a northern route that eventually took us along the Walpole stake line. This year has been great for size and today was […]

We hit the water on a pre-frontal day that was one of the hottest of the week. The winds were up a little in the morning and the forecast promised winds later in the 20mph range with a 30% chance of storms. The wave action was fairly average and the “St. Clair Chop” hadn’t developed […]

It turned out to be a good day for Jeff and Neil to run across the South Shore looking for smallmouth bass on this day. You will see and hear about good numbers of bass being caught not only on tubes but on swimbaits as well. The idea was to hit multiple spots but if […]

Deep Schools The main focus this week was to find schools of smallmouth in deep water. We put the odds in our favor by hitting the Canadian side and fishing several proven spots. We failed to come up with the quality of bass that we were looking for between those spots and others chosen later […]

The much-anticipated end of the post-spawn period for bass this year is Saturday July 16 2016. This conclusion comes as there was an overwhelming amount of anecdotal evidence coming in via fishing reports. Here are some of the reports: Walleye anglers are complaining about smallmouth at the dumping grounds Bass are starting to show […]
