Lake St. Clair: Anglers were catching walleye from the mouth of the south channel in 12 to 14 feet of water and in Anchor Bay near New Baltimore in 11 feet of water. Walleye were also being caught at the dumping grounds near the Canadian border in 16 to 18 feet of water. Some perch were caught in these locations as well. Smaller catches of walleye were taking place in the northeast portions of Anchor Bay and the north channel mouth in 12 to 14 feet of water. Small perch catches were coming in from this location as well. Smallmouth bass action was good near the dumping grounds in 17 to 19 feet of water and near the St. Clair light in 22 feet of water. Musky anglers were successful while trolling and casting in the eastern part of the lake in 15 to 18 feet of water. Musky were caught from the mouth of the South Channel, in Goose Bay, and near Strawberry and Grassy Islands in 10 to 18 feet of water. On windy days, the Fairhaven launch may be a good option because there are more sheltered areas available close by where anglers can still get in some fishing time. Walleye were biting on artificial lures better than on crawlers at times. Using natural and artificial bait may be a good plan with the changing weather
