Rizzo Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Finally going to try St Clair for musky tomorrow, but don't have a clue where to start. Was either going to launch somewhere at the mouth of belle river or somewhere at the mouth of the thames. Then I was going to drive around randomly hoping to fluke into a fish! If someone wants to offer up a good place to launch or any other info it would be appreciated.
Roy Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Good Luck Roger. I hope Monsieur Parker sees this.
lew Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Never fished there in the summer Roger so can't help you with fishing locations, but for boat ramps, the one at the pier in Belle River is definitely your better choice if you end up going to that area.
Rizzo Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Posted July 4, 2013 thanks lew. one vote for belle river means as it stands now I'll head in that direction. Pain in the butt to learn new water, especially one that big, but will be satisfying if I can can find one willing combatant. The boat is full of gas so I'm ready to put on a few kms!
Djeep Posted July 4, 2013 Report Posted July 4, 2013 if youre trolling i would second belle river as a great place to start. troll contour lines if you have electronics and if not just switch it up till you find whats working.
Rizzo Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Posted July 4, 2013 yes going to troll. Taking a guy out who has never caught a musky, and is a little tender because he just had his large intestine removed a couple weeks ago. Figured go for a nice boat ride and if I can get him his first musky it would make his day.
wormdunker Posted July 4, 2013 Report Posted July 4, 2013 I saw guys landing musky right at the pier in Belle River. That was fall time though.
outllaw Posted July 4, 2013 Report Posted July 4, 2013 launch from belle r. turn west/left. fish 14-16ft water. troll3.9-4.5..south winds best.us lures that run 3-8ft deep. lures 5 inch are hot up to 7 inch.
Rizzo Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Posted July 5, 2013 hey thanks outlaw. Didn't see your advice until now....but we did end our day doing exactly that. We only spent maybe half an hour west of belle river, but I did manage to lose a 44 incher (or so) over there. Rest of the day was spent east of belle river
