Since you are a rookie on Lk St. CLair I would start out by fishing at Selfridge Air base. There is a public launch there, lots of parking.Follow the crowds. The fish are all over. It is at least a 1 mile walk to get into deeper water (over 5 feet). Fishing is usually better there, but there will be a lot of guys not too far off the launch in 3-4 feet of water also.Ken's spoons, sold at the bait store near the launch. are always good. Small jigging raps with no bait also work well there.
Hello all,New to the east side of the state, and have always wanted to fish St. Clair on the ice. From what I know, it's primarily perch.. what depths do you find them in during the winter months? I do not have ATV/Snowmobile, so I am wondering if I can access the good action within a short walk. Thanks!
Ken spoons work great, gusters work even better when you learn how to fish them. If you fish the American side after January it can be very tough and discouraging would highly suggest going over to the Canadian side.
