St. Clair ?

[stackenem]

As I have never fished St. Clair before in my life would anybody like to give me a clue as to what type of baits and what colors to use this weekend. I'm going as a nonboater so I can't take everything. Just need some general ideas. Thanks Bill

Tubes, colors- smoke purple, green pumpkin orange, St.Clair goby Should cover the color spectrum. Spinner baits, rattle-traps, and maybe a few top water depending on how muddie the water will be.

See you there

Tubes and a variety of jigheads.

Color - I think I remember a saying about tube color on St. Clair and Erie and it goes something like this..."You only need three colors of tubes for great lakes smallmouth....green, green and green!"  I am sure there are a lot of guys with favorite colors other than green, but if you stay with green as a base color and maybe have some w/ orange flake, blue flake etc you will be just fine.  Also try to have a couple different size and style tubes as that seems to have a bigger effect than color to me.

Also - be prepared to be chunking and winding spinnerbait/traps, jerkin' jerkbaits and maybe the most important is Senko's if there are any bedding fish.

I have to concur - Tubes in  green pumpkin anything.  Also jerks - hard body and soft fluke types.  Senkos are also deadly, as well as a hula grub type bait.
