Lake St. Clair Fishing Report - June 7, 2025: Bass, Walleye, and Perch Bites Heating Up for Summer
# Lake St. Clair Fishing Report – Saturday, June 7, 2025
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning fishing report for Lake St. Clair. Sunrise hit about an hour and a half ago at 5:55 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 9:10 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get those lines wet.
Water temps have climbed into the mid-60s this week, perfect for triggering aggressive feeding activity. Lake levels remain healthy, with water clarity improving nicely after those gusts we had in late May. The eastern shorelines still show a bit of stain, but overall visibility is excellent.
The smallmouth bass bite has been absolutely on fire this past week! Those post-spawners have moved off their beds and are spreading out across shallow flats and first breaks. Anglers have been crushing it in Anchor Bay, particularly around Ford Cove and Metropark beach in 5-7 feet of water. The Great Lakes Finesse Juvy Craw and Sneaky Underspin swimbait are producing daily limits of 2-4 pounders, with several trophy 5+ pounders reported.
For you walleye hunters, trolling has been productive along deeper breaks. Earlier this week, anglers had good success working crankbaits in 17-25 feet of water. The area around Selfridge boat launch has been particularly hot, especially if you head toward the barracks.
Yellow perch and panfish action has picked up in the marinas, so don't overlook those if you're looking for some tasty filets. Light line and small tube jigs under a bobber should do the trick.
For hot spots this weekend, I'd focus on:
- Mitchell's Bay if you're heading to the Canadian side – the bass fishery there is top-notch right now
- The Channels where St. Clair River empties into the lake – loaded with bass, walleye, pike, and perch
- Sturgeon Hole just outside Detroit if you're feeling ambitious and want to hook into a monster
Lure selection is straightforward – darker colors are working best for smallmouth, along with green and yellow soft plastics. For walleye, crawler harnesses and crankbaits are your best bet. If you're targeting those shallow smallies, keep your presentations finesse-oriented with light line.
Weather looks stable today with moderate winds, perfect for getting out on the water. The fish are active and hungry, so get out there and enjoy some of the best fishing Lake St. Clair has to offer this season.
