Anybody been out on St.Clair recently, really have a craving for a perch dinner, they don't seem to be biting anywhere??? Just lots of small ones.
I'm going to selfridge in the morning , I'll post how we do tomorrow night .
in the last two weeks, been to metro, gino's, millers, selfridge, and jacks, same story all over, lots of small ones, very few decent fish, running out of ideas......

Hillers Market 12.95 a pound for Perch, 14.95 for Walleye. :D ;D only way i know how to catch them.
been watching guys on my lake all day. have not seen a fish caught or a tip up go off.
No fish on Lake Orion??
fish all over Orion, start catching decent size bluegills, then they all vanish and I get a big old bass staring at my wax worm, half the time they inhale it, other half the time, they scare away all the panfish. Although it is a riot fighting bass on a panfish rod with a size 12 hook.
We had a slow day , started about four miles northeast of selfridge , the first couple stops , just one or two , then we hit one spot with fish , I caught 65 , brought 25 home, none real big though , 10" . The other guys did better than me, Jim had 35 keepers , two or three 12" and Kyle had 45 or so with some good size ones .
Much better than myself or anyone I know has been doing.
The last good day i had was out in front of ginos in 5 fow last monday caught over 50 kept 35. going back out in front of 11 mile or out in front of the coast guard station.
If you want to make a drive. port Sanilac. the docks in the harbor had good fish over the weekend lots of jumbos A few buddy's of mine went this weekend both had 50 fish 10 -14 inches. To far for me but if you want fresh pearch and some fun it might be worth the drive.
I have fished St Cair, at least two times a week . All though it's from under the sheets of my nice warm bed. Dreaming of the hotsunny days of summer and all those smallies laying all over the deck of my boat. As I drink a beer and show miss september and miss may the art of landing a fish
Got skunked today ! My drill broke on the way out to the first hole, got stuck in reverse, heater ran out of fuel and I left my extra tank in the truck, and then no fish over 6" . Seen some toads, but they were cruising and didn't want my tube . Tried some Gulp maggots with out much luck . Maybe tomorrow!!!!!
Got on the ice at 8 o'clock and had no keepers at one o'clock .Moved around a lot, ended up in 8 fow and had schools of fish coming in twenty minutes or so, followed by muskies . Ended up bringing 28 home between 12" and 8" . Again the other guys outfished me >:( , heres some pics .
better than me, out all day saturday-again-had one 15" perch, huge, then every other one was maybe 4". Had big pike swimming by all day though, water seemed extraordinarily this past weekend.
I'm going to try again on Thursday, anyone want to meet me at Selfridge Sport and Tackle ?
Charles, I got no gear but may be interested. U got a rod I could use?
I got every thing we will need , other than the get up and go .
Sounds good, I'm in. What time and where is selfridge sport and tackle?
Well the best bite has been around three o clock, but I'm game for whatever time you want to meet . Selfridge Sport & Tackle is on Jefferson one block north of the Selfridge launch . But I'm coming down I-75 to 59 and over to Jefferson, we can meet anywhere along there that you want. You want to fish in the morning we can plan on being on the lake at 8ish (?). I'm very flexable on the time so whatever fits your schedule
Well I got no job, so anytime is good for me. Let me know and I can meet u there since I will be coming from the south.
Lets meet at 7 30 at S S T OK?
Sounds like a plan. Do I need something to sit on? Anything else I should bring?
No I have a two man clam and a quad so just bring warm clothes and maybe a snack, we should be good to go .
