Perch
Yellow Perch fishing around Detroit offers a fantastic opportunity for both seasoned anglers and beginners. Lake St. Clair is the undisputed perch capital here, known for its massive schools of jumbo perch. The best action typically occurs during the late summer and early fall as water temperatures cool and perch school up in larger numbers. Focus on areas with weed beds and slightly deeper water, especially near drop-offs. A local tactic is to use a perch rig with live minnows or small jigs tipped with wax worms. Be aware that perch can be finicky, so experiment with depth and presentation. The perch population in Lake St. Clair is healthy, providing excellent table fare.
