What's Biting in Local Waterways

Heading out on the water to fishing this weekend? Here is what anglers are catching on local waterways.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has released the weekly fishing report of what is biting on local waterways.

Lake St. Clair:  Has good bass fishing in Anchor Bay. Try watermelon or black plastics in eight to 11 feet of water. Muskie anglers have caught some large fish.  
Lake Erie:  Still had good walleye fishing in Ohio waters. A few walleye were caught in Michigan waters but not as many as Ohio. Some perch were caught off Stony Point and the Dumping Grounds off Bolles Harbor.  

Detroit River:  A few walleye were caught on jigs with crawlers in the Trenton Channel. Those trolling the deeper channels with crawler harnesses also caught a few fish. Walleye and smallmouth bass were caught along the south end of the Trenton Channel as well as the cuts on either side of Sugar Island.
