Rough night. Came out strong and put 3 fish in the boat pretty quick on frogs/toads. Hit a 4th on the swim bait and then got stuck on a mud flat. Plugged up the engine trying to get off the mud flat and had to trolling motor back to the ramp. Lost about 1hr and 20 minutes of fishing. If we had one more fish, would have been in the money for sure. Overall, big disappointment of an evening.

A recent cold front brought the St Clair River temps down just below 70, triggering the big bass to come in shallow around docks and seawalls at the entry point into Lake St Clair. Giving them a wacky rig presentation got them biting. Skipping and pitching a Yamamoto Senko with the Lew’s Pro SP is a breeze and can get your lure into those tight spots of cover where the bass are waiting to ambush their prey. We have another warm up coming thru that’s going to raise the water temps back up a bit, so I’ll let you know how the conditions change. FISH ON!👊💥🎣

The fish have been taking refuge under the treeline. Perfect spot for sniping holes in Lilly pads.

Water temps have dropped into the mid 70s, good numbers of largemouth and smallmouth in the old river channel. Jerkbait was good, but drop shot was better!

Water clarity was about 1.5-2' for the most part. Very rainy conditions, wind wasn't really significant though. Very overcast. Started off the evening with a few on the frog including a great pike. Ended up catching the rest on wacky rig's, t-rigged cut-r worm and a home pour mustache bait. Our bag was 11.21lbs with a 3.11lb kicker. BB - 3.52lbs 13.8 lbs 12.2 lbs 11.8 lbs

The keys to my pattern were to find areas that had grass within 2-4 feet from the rocks. The fish were congregated near current. My biggest of the day was caught on an isolated grass patch.

The lake was sprayed for weeds recently and was experiencing an Alge bloom. Fishing deep only produced small fish on the drop-shot. The best fish were shallow, 2-4ft of water over the top of weeds.
