Avoiding fishing on beds and targeting the Lake St Clair smallmouth in more challenging spots. Air temps in the mid 80s, but hit this one earlier in the day before the sun got too high in cloudy water in a depth transition. 12-7FOW transition area.

If the water is as clear as it was when I was fishing, and the wind was kicking up as it has been a lot recently, throw the most natural looking jerkbaits you can find in about 6-10 feet above the boulders and new growing weeds. I found lots of success with the matte perch and clear laker colors as they are great imitators of their forage.

Windy day on St Clair but we stayed out of it mostly in Anchor Bay. Some fish are still shallow as there were many boats still checking beds. We opted to stay between 6 and 9 FOW with drop shots and coffee tubes. Not many big fish today but as usual on St Clair the numbers are phenomenal.
