Fished all day Saturday on St. Clair River without a strike. It was the memorial Day Weekend and the cigar boats were out in force creating an uneasy situation on the water. I fished both US side and Canada and threw everything but the kitchen sink at them. Should mention they are getting good pickerel at night for the last couple weeks but the times have been varying depending on were you fish on the river. I've been told most have been jigging vibra tails different colors but white seems to be the favorite all round. I guess its better to sleep all day and fish all night ;-)

The ice is flowing down the river at real good pace now. Coast guard is working on navigational markers. Shad fish are in over abundance at Shell Canada and drawing in Sea Gulls and Bonapartes by the thousands who are feeding ferociously and riding the ice drifts. Watching for signs of pickerel and other fish starting but its slow yet! It will start soon with this mild weather coming. I will advise when it does.

I didn't know this is what you call em, I've always eaten this part

Try Bass Haven at Mitchels Bay Ontario there right next to all the action reachable by boat

With all the rain and unsafe ice only fisherman I recomend air boats until good ice returns. Still catching nice perch at Mitchells Bay

Well everything is in full swing on the Bay at this time of year. With this mild weather things are little scarier for the next couple days. My friends have been using air boats to play safe and have been limiting out daily for the past month. Most have been medium size to large perch and in good numbers of each. With this rain and above freezing temp for the next couple days will be quiet. 

Yes the perch are starting near Mitchels Bay also but are small so far

Thanks for the ID

Wow a real slow day today! Nothing wanted to bite but a small musky on worm harness! Caught a couple smallmouth bass a couple of days ago and today a couple of small perch and a big sheephead. No eyes at all! Tried worms, cranks, spoons and handtied flies nothing was entising them! Fished from lighthouse to grassy drifting and trolling. Water was pretty rough this morning with 3-4ft swells and water temp was 74*F.

Fished Saturday at the markers for a couple hours, couldn't get my trolling motor to work the battery on the foot control I believed died. Only caught perch nothing else. Friends were telling me they have been biting well all week

Got off shift in early morning decided to go fishing for a couple hours. Marking lots of fish in the river but limited strikes. Used a pink pickerel harness and nailed a 2-3 lb pike about 80 ft back of the boat in 15 ft of water. Hoping to get back out after some sleep!  

HI, just wondering if anyone has started fishing Mitchells Bay area yet? Saw a couple boats at the launch and was curious. My first year back fishing this area after about 40 years. Just bought a new 17Ft Lund and getting anxious if you know what I mean! Looking forward to future post here!

Hi my name is Bob, I recently moved from Port Burwell Ontario on Lake Erie to Wallaceburg which lies between Lake St Clair and St Clair River. I recently bought a new 17ft Lund and looking forward to fishing both lakes and adjoining rivers. Will be watching this site closely for tips and trips and if I can contribute any success.
