Getting Close to Last Ice


Fished out of Metro Beach on Lake St. Clair with Doug S. Temperature this afternoon was 52 degrees and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 40s. The wind was out of the southwest 5 to 10 knots and the sky was blue. The shore ice at the Day Sail Ramp is getting a little iffy but on the lake there is 14 inches of ice. We started fishing in front of the flag pole in 7 feet of water. When we got there the guys were just leaving and they had some fish that they caught in the morning. We fished there for 1 1/2 hours and caught a lot of dinks and only a few keepers and then we noticed a group of guys over by the point in shallow water. We picked up and headed out that way to talk to the guys and they said the morning bite was pretty good in 1 foot of water but the last 2 hours the fish moved out. We fished there for 45 minutes and then we went back to our old spot. For every 15 fish we would have one keeper so we thought that was better than nothing. Around the last hour of light the bigger fish turned on and then we started to have some fun. Doug used his new Slab Grabber spoon today and I have to admit it worked very well. We kept 30 perch and lost half a dozen large one's at the hole.
