The weather has been quite windy, which has stirred up the water, adding color and making fish less skittish. Sunrise today is at about 7:45 AM, and sunset will be around 6:30 PM. The winds have broken up the weeds, making it easier for fish to school up and be found.
### Fish Activity
Walleye fishing is starting to pick up, particularly in areas like the mouth of the south channel and near the Dumping Grounds. Anglers have been successful using crawler harnesses and jigging with paddle tails. Smallmouth bass are active in shallower waters, around 8 to 10 feet deep, in the mouth of the middle channel.
Perch fishing has also seen some action, with catches reported between 9 Mile and the Grosse Point Yacht Club, as well as near the Dumping Grounds. Perch rigs with crawlers have been effective. Muskie activity is increasing with the cooler water, especially near the spillway where schools of shad and other bait fish are present.
### Best Lures and Bait
For walleye, crawler harnesses and jig heads with paddle tails are working well. For smallmouth bass, soft plastics and crankbaits are good choices. Perch anglers are having success with perch rigs and crawlers. Muskie anglers should try using larger lures like bucktails and crankbaits to target the schooling bait fish.
### Hot Spots
- **The Dumping Grounds**: This area has seen consistent catches of walleye and perch.
- **Front of the 400 Club and Coast Guard Station**: These spots are good for smallmouth bass and walleye, especially with the weeds breaking up.
- **Spillway**: This is a hot spot for muskie and perch, with the warm water discharge attracting bait fish.
Overall, the cooler water and windy conditions are making for a more active and predictable fishing environment on Lake St. Clair.
