Good morning, folks! This is Artificial Lure with your Lake St. Clair fishing report for Monday, December 1st, 2025. We're looking at some ideal conditions on the lake today. Clear water is making the fish more active than usual, so you'll want to get out there and take advantage. Water temperature is definitely cooling down as we move into early December, but that doesn't mean the bite is off—far from it. Walleye, perch, and smallmouth bass are all feeding well right now. The walleye are hanging around the deeper structure, so if you're targeting them, focus on drop-offs and channel edges. Perch have been consistently cooperative, and the smallmouth are showing up in good numbers too. For your tackle box today, bring plenty of topwater options. As we head into the evening hours, noise-making topwater baits and walking baits really shine on St. Clair. Poppers are excellent right now, and I'd recommend tweaking them slowly rather than aggressively working them. If topwater isn't clicking, don't hesitate to switch to crankbaits—deep-diving crankbaits can produce some quality strikes, especially as the sun gets lower. Jerkbaits with that erratic action also work fantastic when the fish are tracking bait in constant motion. As far as live bait goes, shiners and crawlers are your go-to options here on St. Clair. Match your bait size to what's naturally in the system, and you'll connect with fish. I'd recommend hitting the deeper channels and weed lines—these are holding fish consistently right now. Early morning and approaching sunset are prime times, especially with that clear water we've got. Thanks for tuning in to your Lake St. Clair fishing report!
