When the Lake St-Clair main lake bite begins to get a little more difficult in mid August covering water is key to success. A crankbait that gets down to that 12-14’ mark seems to get the most bites when worked fast with the occasional pause and or pop of the rod. When it’s tough get deep, get around grass, put the trolling motor on high and sling it!

When it gets slick and really tough in those mid august-mid september give a neko rig a try. It can be a difficult bait to fish deep but it does get neutral fish to react when patiently fished at targets. A long cast with a slower then slow drag style retrieve around any of the types of submerged grass Lake St-Clair has to offer will get good ones to eat. This approach should be targeted towards sand spots, taller grass clumps or submerged structures it’s simply too slow to be randomly casted around as a search bait. When gets bad go neko!
