Lake St. Clair Ice Fishing Report: Walleye, Perch, and Muskie Action on Tap
Lake St. Clair, Michigan Fishing Report Today
About
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your Lake St. Clair fishing guru, comin' at ya live on this chilly New Year's Eve mornin', 8:20 AM sharp. Winter's grip is tight on our gem of a lake, but don't let that fool ya—ice is formin' steady, and the bite's worth bravin' the cold.
Weather's lookin' crisp: highs hoverin' round 25°F, light northwest winds at 5-10 mph, partly cloudy skies. No major storms brewin', per local forecasts. Sunrise kicked off at 7:58 AM, sunset's at 5:04 PM—short days mean prime solunar windows from Fishing Reminder's bite times: major feeds 10:30-12:30 PM and 11:00-1:00 PM tonight. Moon's in its last quarter, keepin' fish a bit moody but active in shallows.
Lake St. Clair's ice fishin' scene is heatin' up, thanks to FishUSA's latest report. Walleye are the stars—anglers pullin' limits of 4-7 pounders off Anchor Bay and the north channel, usin' tip-ups with emerald shiners over 15-20 feet. Perch schools are thick too, 8-12 inchers stackin' up for quick family limits on minnows or wigglers. Muskies and pike add thrill; a few 40-inchers reported trollin' deadbait under flags near the Clinton River mouth. Bass are slow but pickin' up on jigs in 10-15 feet—smallies mostly, 2-4 pounds.
Tides? Minimal here on the big lake, but Detroit River flow's steady at 2-3 knots outbound—watch currents near outflows for walleye stackin'.
Best lures: Scottsboro Tackle finesse swimbait heads with Z-Too softies for walleye, per MLF pros. Jigs tipped with Berkley PowerBait chunks or Zoom Z Craws shine for perch and bass. Live bait rules: fathead minnows, shiners, or nightcrawlers on quick-strike rigs.
Hot spots: Elizabeth Park Marina launch for runs to St. Clair channels—walleye heaven. Anchor Bay shallows for perch bonanzas, ice 6-8 inches thick now.
Bundle up, check ice reports, and stay safe out there.
