Winter's still gripping our waters here in Michigan, and let me tell you, the smallmouth are absolutely dominant right now. We're seeing excellent fishing conditions across the lake. Smallmouth bass are the primary target this time of year, and they're responding well to artificial lures. Based on recent reports from local guides, muskie, walleye, perch, and sturgeon are also biting when conditions align. The cold snap we've been experiencing has actually triggered aggressive feeding behavior—anglers are reporting solid hook-ups consistently. For lures, you'll want to focus on artificial presentations. Light tackle fishing with quality offerings is your best bet. The key is working those lures methodically through winter structure. Live bait fishing still works, but artificial offerings are outperforming right now due to the cold water temps triggering reactive strikes. Fair Haven is your go-to launch point if you're heading out. The marinas there give you immediate access to prime fishing zones. Another solid location is the deeper channels along the St. Clair River connection—those tailrace areas hold concentrated fish populations this time of year. The winter bite typically peaks during midday when water temps stabilize slightly. Pack your heavy jacket, bundle up, and get out there before the spring thaw changes everything.
