The Detroit River continues to give up good catches of walleyes. The big run has slowed and now the other species(smallmout sheephead, silver bass and white perch) have kept anglers busy. Most have been jigging using 1/2-3/4 oz jigs in various colours tipping with a plastic worm or minnow.
Walleye fishing on Lake Erie(Colchester-Leamington) is starting to heat up with crawler harnesses the bait of choice for many. Water temps are 56-59 degrees and some great fishing is ahead of us.
The catch and release bass season on Lake St. Clair is off to a great start with numerous fish being caught. Tubes, drop shotting and rattle traps are working well. Covering water with a fast moving bait is a lot of fun, the smallies just stop the lure.
