Southeast Lower Peninsula
Lake Erie: Shore anglers were catching yellow perch off the docks in the Metro Park Marina but many were small. Bluegills were also caught. This is the time of year when walleye anglers start to wade out from the beaches of Sterling State Park. They usually cast bombers at night.
Huron River: Anglers were catching a fair to good number of large and smallmouth bass between the Mast Road Bridge and Barton Pond. Those fishing below the Ford Lake Dam at North Hydro Park caught bass and a few walleye.
Detroit River: Boat anglers were catching perch. Shore anglers caught perch around Grosse Ile.
Lake St. Clair: Had cleared up but with rain and strong winds in the forecast Thursday and Friday, anglers should expect muddy conditions for the end of the week. Perch fishing improved but muddy conditions will not help. Muskie fishing has been good for those casting, trolling or jigging.
St. Clair River: Lake sturgeon fishing remains very good in the North Channel. Walleye fishing was good with fish caught both night and day when jigging, casting or whipping. Water temperatures at Algonac were 51 degrees.
Port Austin: Still had one dock in at the boat launch.
Saginaw Bay: Boat anglers were still heading out for perch. It won’t be long before anglers start finding a few perch up in the cuts, canals and rivers.
