Clay Township Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Clay Township
Lake St-Clair is currently fishing the best it has all summer. Smallmouth are firmly in their summer water and easy to catch in the shorter 6-10" sand grass that covers the vast majority of the middle of the lake. Tubes, drop shot minis style baits and Ned rigs type baits are all working well and moving baits like swimbaits, crankbaits and jerkbaits have been good when the wind blows.

Smallmouth bass season is now in full swing on Lake St Clair. Fish are making the move from the spawning grounds to offshore and can be caught in the medium and deep depth range, and there are still some stragglers up shallow that can be targeted. Ned rig type presentation seem to be getting the most bites, particularly when able to be Fished deep on lightweights, but you need favourable wind conditions to be able to do that effectively. The spybait and jighead minnow has also been extremely productive. On windy days we're catching our fish cranking deeper running crankbaits...

Fishing in the Canadian side of Lake St-Clair right now is very good. Perch are still spawning and when they are found it is abundant. Walleyes can always be found close to the perch as well and are aggressive. Seeing this mostly in 14-17 FOW. Perch and walleye are being taken with drop shot rigs and swimbaits.

The USA side is now open for smallmouth bass and is always productive. The Smallmouth are grouping up now in post spawn schools off shore and when you find one there is typically many close by. Seeing these schools now in and around the 13-16' depth range. Swimbaits, crankbaits and A-rigs shine this time of year but a drop shot, tube and a hover minnow are also excellent options when the fish don't want to chase.

A wonderful trip. My Florida and Washington visitors were very impressed. Muskie fishing with Captain Kurt rivaled salt water fishing they had experienced. They are already talking about another trip next summer. I recommend this trip highly.

Kurt and his Dad were great guides. Very personable and worked really hard for us to have a successful day. The first day was hard fishing with the wind. We did not catch but a couple of fish but not do to their lack of trying. Somedays it is indeed fishing not catching. Our second day made up to it. We caught 3 muskies and 5 small mouth, lots of perch and a nice walleye. Great guys that went above and beyond.

The trip is great! Kurt and his dad are very welcoming and do a great job of making sure everyone is enjoying themselves. We went on the bass trip and caught 25 between the 4 of us. Most of them were TANKS. A 5 pounder was caught as well. Very recommended for a family or group of friends. Musky trip next !
