BassinMichigan Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 The smallie action was on fire yesterday on St. Clair. I guess it's almost expected when you fish a world class smallmouth factory at the perfect time of year. 20+ (I lost track around 15) fish in 3 1/2 hours, a plethora of 3 pounders, and the biggest being 5 lbs 4 ounces. Even if you can only get out for a few hours, it's more than worth it. You just tilted your head, didn't you! Quote
reo Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Central basin of Lake Erie was giving up some SLOBS as well this weekend. For us the fishing was not as fast, it took 6 hours for two of us to boat 25 fish but two were over 6 lbs (rapala digital scale) and several more over 5 lbs. Wacky rigged 4" trick sticks on a drop shot worked best. Also got a few on DHJ 10 in clown and blue chrome. Quote
Sfritr Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 What part of the lake were you fishin? Canadian or US? I have a few buddies headin there to fish the mile markers from Gross pt up to metro Quote
Chris W Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Nice fish I have always wanted to go to St Clair one of these days I am going to get up there. Quote

Super User iceintheveins Posted May 5, 2009 Super User Posted May 5, 2009 St. Clair is probably the second best smallie fishery in North America besides Erie. One of the best muskie fisheries too. It's a dream destination. Quote

SMALMTH Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Reel good, my arms are twitching to get back over there! Nice fish. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted May 9, 2009 Super User Posted May 9, 2009 That's why I live on this pond? There is no lake like it, as far as I'm concerned. It's very easy to fall in love with this place. Since 2001, when I started keeping track, I've caught 122 Smallies six pounds or over, not to mention, countless 4-5 pounders. Falcon Quote
