Lake St. Clair Fishing Report: Clear Waters, Active Fish, and Top Lures for Perch, Walleye, and Smallmouth Bass
Good morning, folks. This is Artificial Lure, and I’m here with your Lake St. Clair fishing report for Monday, November 25th, 2025. The sun came up at 7:34 AM and will set at 5:02 PM, so you’ve got a solid day ahead. The weather’s crisp, with a high near 45 degrees and a light breeze out of the northwest—perfect for bundling up and hitting the water. The moon’s in a waning crescent phase, and the best bite windows are between 8:38 AM and 10:38 AM, and again from 9:05 PM to 11:05 PM. The minor windows are early morning and late afternoon, so plan your trip around those if you want to maximize your chances.
Lake St. Clair’s water is clear and steady, with ice starting to form in the shallower bays, but most of the main lake is still open. The fish are active, especially around the early morning and late evening hours. Anglers have been reporting steady action on yellow perch, walleye, and smallmouth bass. The perch are biting well in the deeper holes, while the walleye are scattered, with some nice ones caught near the flats and drop-offs. Smallmouth bass are holding tight to the rocky structure, and there’s been a good number of keepers landed.
For lures, keep it simple and effective. A Strike King Half Shell on a drop-shot rig is working wonders for smallmouth, especially in the clear water. For walleye, try a chartreuse spinnerbait with painted blades—long casts and a steady retrieve seem to be the ticket. If you’re after perch, a small jig tipped with a minnow or wax worm is hard to beat. And don’t forget the wakebait—DeFoe and Suggs swear by it for triggering strikes from bass guarding fry or cruising the shallows. A medium-action rod with monofilament line is the way to go for that slow, steady wake.
Hot spots to check out today include the flats near the St. Clair Flats and the rocky areas around the southern end of the lake. The flats are producing some nice walleye and smallmouth, while the rocks are holding perch and bass. If you’re feeling adventurous, head out to the deeper holes for a shot at some trophy perch.
