Perch
If yellow perch is what you're after, St. Clair Shores provides access to the abundant perch fishery of Lake St. Clair. The fall months are generally considered the peak season, as perch school up in large numbers before winter. Look for them near weed beds, drop-offs, and areas with sandy or gravel bottoms. Winter ice fishing can also be productive. Anchor up and use a perch rig baited with minnows or wigglers. Local tip: Perch can be finicky, so experiment with different depths and bait presentations until you find what they're biting. Also, Lake St. Clair can get choppy, so be mindful of weather conditions before heading out. The marinas around St. Clair Shores provide convenient access and bait shops.
