Reel in the Action: Catching Walleye, Perch, and Bass on Lake St. Clair

Good morning, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Lake St. Clair fishing report for Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025. We're looking at excellent conditions on the lake right now. Water temperatures are holding steady, and anglers are reporting solid walleye, perch, and bass action throughout the lake. The fishing has been really good recently, and if you've got some time to get out on the water today, you're in for a treat. For lures, I'm recommending you bring a solid arsenal. Topwater baits are absolutely crushing it in these waters—any noise-making topwater, walking baits, and poppers are producing well. Don't sleep on crankbaits either. A deep-diving crankbait is money right now, especially if you reel it fast to trigger those reaction bites. And here's a pro tip: jerkbaits with that erratic action are putting fish in the boat when the light starts to fade later in the day. For live bait, stick with what's working—fresh shad is your friend out here on the St. Clair. You can also have success with artificial worms rigged with a light nail weight if you're targeting those perch and bottom-dwelling species. As we head into the evening hours, visually scan the water's surface for active fish. Watch for shad breaking the top and bass feeding. The shade is critical this time of year, so focus on banks, bluffs, and points where shadows are being cast. The fish migrate to find those shaded areas, especially as the sun gets lower. I'd recommend checking out the shallow flats near the northern sections and the points along the main lake structure. These are holding good numbers of quality fish right now. Get all your gear before you leave the dock, and make sure you've got your license squared away. Thanks for tuning in to the Lake St. Clair fishing report!
