Lake Erie: A few docks have been put in at Bolles Harbor and Sterling State Park. Anglers are targeting walleye in 12 to 18 feet of water in Brest Bay when trolling body baits a few feet off the bottom. Those jigging around Turtle Island are picking up a few but overall fishing was slow.
Detroit River: Walleye fishing picked up in the Trenton Channel and the mid-river.
Lake St. Clair: Had very little fishing activity. The docks are in at the DNR launches but low water levels have created some launching issues especially for larger boats at the Selfridge, Fairhaven and Clinton River Cut-off sites.
St. Clair River: Shore anglers at Port Huron have caught steelhead and brown trout. A few walleye were caught in the lower river near Algonac.
Lexington: Pier anglers caught steelhead, brown trout, and a few coho when casting small spoons or live minnows. Only small perch were caught off the dock. Boat anglers caught trout and salmon when trolling body baits in 10 to 20 feet of water north and south of the harbor.
Port Sanilac: Pier anglers are catching steelhead and brown trout.
Harbor Beach: Pier anglers caught steelhead and brown trout.
Port Austin: Pier anglers caught steelhead off the gas dock when casting small spoons. Late afternoon and early evening were best.
Saginaw Bay: Had excellent walleye fishing off the mouth of the Saginaw River. Walleye were hitting pretty much anything thrown at them including jigs and minnows. Some channel cats were caught in the Hot Ponds. Perch fishing near the Pigeon River has not yet started because the water is colder north of Sand Point.
Kawkawlin River: Perch fishing was good off the bridge at State Park Drive.
Saginaw River: Had good perch fishing between the mouth and Essexville. Fish ranging 10 and 11 inches were caught on minnows.
Quanicassee River: Had good perch fishing but the action has tapered off as it appears the season may have already peaked. Rain may bring in some fresh fish, but don’t wait too long to get out there.
Sebewaing River: Also had good perch fishing but has tapered off.
