Fished with Joe on Lake St. Clair today. Went back to our favorite spot on the Salt River access. Temperature this morning was 13 Degrees and by noon it was in the lower 30's. Wind was WSW 10 knots with lots of sunshine which made for a beautiful day on Lake St. Clair.
We started fishing in front of the yellow seawall in 4 ft. of water. The ice was around 15 inches thick. Stayed here for an hour, then moved 200 ft. towards Cotton Road and fished in about 5 ft. of water. Visibility was pretty good, you could see the bottom and the fish coming towards the bait. Although there weren't many fish they were quite aggressive. I had a large pike (28 inches?) staring at the minnow, but after 30 seconds he moved on. Also had a large bass come in to look at the same minnow, no interest from him either. Joe caught most of the fish today by using a wax worm and a green glow jig. I ran mostly rapalas tipped with mousies and minnows on jigs. We kept 9 perch between 7.5 and 10 inches, 6 of which were over 8.5 inches, enough for Karen and I to have a very tasty fresh perch dinner tonight!
Next Planned Trip: Tomorrow with Doug Sowa at Airport Bay, Grosse Isle
