Planning on casting a line in local waterways this weekend? Here is what is biting according to reports from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Lakeside Fishing Shop.
Lake Erie: Perch fishing was fair as catch rates were still spotty. Those doing best continue to move around. Many are fishing in 18 to 22 feet between the River Raisin and Stony Point or out near the Michigan-Ohio line. Some are starting to fish for walleye as the water temperatures cool. There are some algae blooms but cleaner water can be found north of Bolles Harbor.
Detroit River: Catch rates for walleye were slow in the lower river however perch anglers picked up some fish in 8 to 15 feet of water when using minnows.
Lake St. Clair: Had good bass fishing near the mouth of the channels. Perch showing up near the Canadian shore and the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club.
