St Clair questions

[bawbag]

Fished lake St Clair for the first time last weekend. Was a half decent day caught my personal best musky but it was no where near the monsters ive seen come out of there. We fished the mouth of the river with the rest of the pack, which really isn't my cup of tea.

Just wondering if the whole lake is murky or if it was just that area at the river mouth because of the rainfall Saturday? and are there areas of structure to be found out on the lake? The little exploring I did away from the mouth I didn't mark anything but flat bottom.

Im not looking for anyones hot spots just a nudge in the right direction. Should I be looking for weed beds and structure out on the main lake to concentrate on?

Google modis Great Lakes imagery. It will give an image of the lake the day before. That will help you find clear water.

the thames empties into l.s.c. normally you can head out beyond the runoff of the thames. theres very little major structure..

this time of year the majority of muskies head to rivermouths. tere feeding on the shad migration.

even though you saw brown ugly water,thats where the baits at.

muskies there feed thru there lateral lines..normal patterns are 6-11ft this time of year. shad follow shorelines to their destination.

I tried Thames last week for the first time (got skunked as did the other 10 boats that were doing laps with me). Apparently that dirty water is nothing to be afraid of, the fish can be caught in 6 inch visibility water, they just didnt cooperate that day.

This time of year it's all about the bait fish find them you will find the musky. Time on the water helps alot as the windows that they are eating are very short this time of year so sticking out the day in hopes of hitting one or maybe two good windows is key also.
