 Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Lake St. Clair fishing report for Friday, June 20, 2025.

Sunrise hit the water this morning at 5:53 a.m., with sunset coming up at 9:16 p.m. The weather is lining up perfectly—expect partly cloudy skies, a mild southwest breeze, and air temps in the mid-70s. Water temps are prime, holding steady in the upper 60s to low 70s, keeping the bite active all day long.

The bass bite right now is red hot. According to the latest Michigan DNR reports, smallmouth action remains strong, with fish found both on and just off their beds, especially around Selfridge and the shallow flats nearby. Many anglers are reporting consistent catches of quality smallies, and the occasional largemouth too, especially in the weedy stretches of Anchor Bay.

Walleye anglers are still scoring solid limits with swimbaits, particularly in deeper water off the main channels. Jigging remains effective around the mouth of the St. Clair River and along the drop-offs in front of the casino. The freezer-filling walleye bite that’s been going strong all spring is still rolling, but now’s a great time to target bigger post-spawn fish looking to feed up.

Perch have begun showing up in better numbers, though you’ll have to do a little searching around Metropark and the weed edges near St. Clair Shores. Nightcrawlers on a perch rig or small minnows will do the trick.

For bait selection, finesse is still the name of the game for bass—try a 2.5” Juvy Craw, Ned rigs, or a tube jig in green pumpkin or goby patterns. Walleye are snapping on swimbaits and jigging minnows, with chartreuse and purple hot right now. Perch prefer live minnows, waxworms, or small pieces of nightcrawler.

If you’re looking for hotspots today, put these on your hit list:

- The Channels: The sheltered water spilling from the St. Clair River is a multi-species magnet and a top pick for both bass and walleye.
- Anchor Bay: Still a bass haven, the inside weedlines are holding both largemouth and schools of feeding perch.
- St. Clair Shores: Productive for walleye and perch—great for a family outing.
- Lake St. Clair Metropark: Always a go-to, especially with shoreline access for panfish and plenty of room to spread out.

No tidal shifts here in the freshwater, so focus on low-light periods at sunrise and sunset for peak feeding.
