Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"We booked a fishing trip with Captain Eric for my 32nd birthday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! We caught countless Perch, enjoyed some exciting fights with big fish, and had an absolute blast from start to finish. Captain Eric's knowledge, kindness, and great personality made the trip even more enjoyable. There's nothing better than learning from a seasoned expert, having great conversations, and reeling in fish while listening to great tunes on the water. Huge thanks to Eric for an amazing day! We can't wait to book another trip and share this experience with all our fishing friends. Highly recommend!" - Taylor

"I took my 10- and 7-year-old nephews out on a multi-species charter with Captain Eric, and it was an unforgettable experience. He was extremely friendly, patient, and great with the kids, even when their attention wandered. His deep knowledge of the area and passion for fishing made the trip both fun and educational. Safety was always a priority, and his welcoming personality made the day even better. We had an amazing day and will definitely be booking another trip soon!" - Andrew

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye: These golden-eyed predators are a Lake St. Clair staple. Known for their tasty fillets, Walleye put up a great fight and can grow to impressive sizes here. They love to hang out near drop-offs and weed beds, and we'll target them with a mix of live bait and artificial lures. The best part? They bite year-round, but spring and fall can be especially hot.

Smallmouth Bass: Pound for pound, these bronzebacks are some of the hardest fighting fish in the lake. They're known for their acrobatic leaps and powerful runs. We typically find them around rocky areas and along weed edges. Spring and early summer are prime times, but they'll hit topwater lures in the warmer months – an exciting sight you won't forget!

Northern Pike: These toothy critters are the ambush predators of Lake St. Clair. They grow big here, with some monsters pushing past 40 inches. Pike love to hang out in weedy areas and near drop-offs. We'll target them with big lures or live bait, and when they hit, hold on tight! The cooler months are often best for Pike, but they can be caught year-round.

American Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you – these little guys are a blast to catch and even better to eat. They school up, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop. We'll use light tackle and small jigs or minnows to target them. Perch fishing is great year-round, but fall and winter can see some of the biggest catches.

Top Catches This Season

Lake St. Clair has been on fire lately! We've been seeing some monster Walleye coming in, with several fish over 10 pounds hitting the deck. The Smallmouth Bass action has been insane, with anglers reporting 50+ fish days not being uncommon. And let's not forget about those Yellow Perch – we've had days where coolers are filled to the brim with these tasty panfish. The Pike fishing has been steady too, with some real gators giving anglers the fights of their lives. Remember, every day is different on the water, but that's what makes it exciting!

Learn more about the species

American Yellow Perch

Yellow perch are the tasty panfish that Lake St. Clair is famous for. These little guys average 7-10 inches but can reach up to 15. You'll find schools of them around weed beds, docks, and drop-offs in 5-30 feet of water. They're active year-round but really turn on in fall and winter. Perch are perfect for introducing kids to fishing – they bite readily and are fun to catch on light tackle. Plus, they're absolutely delicious. For the best action, use a simple perch rig with small minnows or pieces of worm. Drop it to the bottom, then lift and hold – when you feel that telltale tap-tap, set the hook! You might just catch dinner for the whole family.

Northern Pike

Northern pike are the ambush predators of Lake St. Clair, lurking in weed beds and along drop-offs. These toothy missiles can top 40 inches and 20 pounds. They're most active in cooler months, especially spring and fall. Look for them in shallow bays early season, moving to deeper weed edges as summer heats up. Pike are exciting to catch – they hit hard and fight like crazy, often leaping clear out of the water. Bring heavy tackle and wire leaders – their razor-sharp teeth will slice through regular line. For a sure-fire local technique, try casting big spoons or inline spinners along weed edges. Let the lure flash as it sinks, then retrieve with a jerky motion to trigger strikes.

Smallmouth Bass

Smallmouth bass in Lake St. Clair typically run 2-6 pounds and love rocky, clear areas. You'll find them around drop-offs, submerged logs, and weed edges in 5-20 feet of water. They're most active in spring and fall when water temps are cooler. Summer fishing is best early morning or evening. Smallies are prized for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights – they'll leap out of the water and give you a run for your money. They're also great eating if you choose to keep a few. For a local trick, try dragging a tube jig slowly along the bottom near rocky points. Mimic a crayfish and you'll often get slammed by a chunky smallmouth.

Walleye

Walleye are the nighttime hunters of Lake St. Clair, growing up to 30 inches and 20 pounds. They prefer cooler, deeper waters during the day, moving to shallows to feed at dusk. Look for them near rock piles, weed edges, and drop-offs. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but night fishing in summer can be productive too. Anglers love walleye for their tasty, flaky white meat and the challenge of locating them. They put up a good fight on light tackle. To boost your chances, try slow-trolling with a bottom bouncer rig and nightcrawlers along underwater structure. Keep your bait near the bottom and be patient – walleye often hit with a light tap before taking the bait.
