Lake St. Clair Fishing Report - Late November Bounty on the Clair
# Lake St. Clair Fishing Report – Thursday, November 27, 2025
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Lake St. Clair report on this Thanksgiving morning.
We're looking at late November conditions on the lake, and let me tell you, this time of year can be fantastic. Sunrise was around 7:15 this morning, and we've got sunset coming in around 4:45 PM, so you've got a solid window if you're heading out today.
**Water and Conditions**
Lake St. Clair is running cold right now—typical for late November—which means the fish are getting active but they're also concentrating in specific areas. The lake has good boat launch access with marina facilities, making it easy to get on the water from various spots along the shoreline.
**What's Been Biting**
Recent reports from anglers working these waters have been solid. Smallmouth bass, walleye, perch, and sturgeon are all active. We've had reports of consistent action, especially when anglers are working structure and shade. The fish are more aggressive during low-light periods, so early morning and those last couple hours before sunset are prime time.
**Best Lures and Tactics**
For this time of year on St. Clair, I'm recommending topwater baits and walking baits during the twilight hours—they create noise and commotion that triggers strikes. If you're working deeper structure, crankbaits will do the job. Jerkbaits with erratic action are excellent too, particularly when the wind is down. Live bait fishing with shiners is always reliable this time of year.
**Hot Spots**
I'd focus on the shipping channels where structure creates depth changes—this is where walleye and bigger bass congregate. Also work any docks and pilings you can find; they hold fish all year but especially when water temps drop.
