I started wearing my pfd when my son started to go fishing with me when he was only about two years old. I just didn't like the old adage " do as I say not as I do".
I can swim but I don't have near the endurance I had so when I'm in the boat I always wear my pfd. I only remove it if someone is taking a picture of me. Then I put it back on.
I also have a Mustang pfd coat that I wear in spring and fall when the temperature is cooler
The days that are too windy to fish Lake St.Clair are the days that you can fish Rondeau Bay or Lake Erie.
I live between the two lakes and that is what I have found weather wise for years.
Just so you know, musky can also be caught on Lake St. Clair
I would fish Lake St. Clair for Smallmouth rather than Lake Erie. Lake St. Clair produces decent Smallmouth during the complete open water season.
My son is going to take me out many times in the coming year as I have predominately fished for Walleye on both Lakes Erie and St.Clair and he tells me I am missing out on a lot of great fishing.
I can't recommend a guide service as I have never used one around here.
Maybe you could get a store near Chatham Ontario to carry your lures. I can't find any place that sells the Echo 1.75. Bass Pro, Sail, Walmart or Canadian Tire doesn't sell them.
I only fish for fun. The time spent fishing with my family whether it be on land or on the water is what I really enjoy. Catching a fish or two is the bonus of the day for me
