In late May and early June large numbers of big Lake St-Clair perch are feeding off shore. You can often find fish while side scanning deep expanses that are highlighted with sand spots with small short weed tuffs sprinkled in. The best way to target these spooky fish is with forward facing sonar as schools are constantly shifting and moving with pressure from both angling pressure as well as predators. 20’ deep is a good rule to start and look for schools of lake walleye in the area. If you find the walleye you will find the schools of big jumbos as we are all there for the same reason.

The Smallmouth Bass are biting like crazy right now out on Lake St Clair if you can find them. My buddy Shawn and I found a big group of them chasing bait around big weed patches and we started throwing swimbaits and white chatterbaits after them and they were fired up. It seems like the bigger fish came on the 3.8inch Swimbaits. If you can find baitfish right now, the smallmouth bass aren’t far from them, just use your electronics and find them.
