Detroit River: Walleye anglers were jigging minnows and plastics around the islands. Yellow perch are just starting to move into the cuts and canals.

Lake St. Clair: The ramps are starting to come out however there was still at least one dock in at all the launches at this time. Water temperatures were in the upper 40’s. Muskie fishing will only get better as the water cools down. Target the areas where the rivers are flowing into the lake and where the gizzard shad concentrate. Anglers were trying to get out for yellow perch on the south end of the lake however rain and strong winds have made for tough conditions. Bluegill, pumpkinseed and crappie fishing in the canals and marinas was very good.

St. Clair River: Shore anglers casting off the wall in Port Huron caught walleye after dark. A few salmon were caught in the early morning or evening.

Detroit River: Those braving the elements continue to catch a few walleye when jigging minnows or plastics in shallower water. Perch can still be found in the cuts and canals though anglers are sorting through the small ones.

Lake St. Clair: Has been on the quiet side. Muskie anglers have done well when trolling or casting. A few launch ramps still had a dock or two in however they will be coming out very soon.

St. Clair River: Had good handlining and jigging reports for walleye in the upper river. Most fish were caught near the Bluewater Bridge at Port Huron. Both the middle and the lower sections had very clear water and not a lot of action.
