Detroit River: Smallmouth bass were caught around the islands, including Celeron, Grosse Ile near the cross-dike, Powerhouse and on the north side of Stoney Island. A few perch were caught on the south side of the cross-dike.       

Lake St. Clair: The walleye bite remains strong out near the shipping channel. Most are trolling harnesses with bottom bouncers. The smallmouth bite is starting to pick up again, with fish caught in 18 to 20 feet straight out from the Clinton River Cutoff ramp and for those trolling crank baits in 14 feet in Anchor Bay. Limits of bluegill and a fair number of perch were caught in front of the raft near the buoys out from the marina in Bouvier Bay. Musky anglers did better in the St Clair River channels than the lake.
