Late November Fishing on Lake St. Clair: Smallmouth, Walleye, and More
# Lake St. Clair Fishing Report - November 27, 2025
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you live from the thumb area. Here's what's happening on Lake St. Clair today.
We're looking at late November conditions, which means the water's getting cold but the fishing can still be solid. Unfortunately, I don't have today's specific tidal data or weather conditions in front of me, but this time of year you're typically dealing with minimal tidal influence on the lake—that's more of a saltwater concern. What matters more right now is water temperature and barometric pressure.
**Fish Activity & Recent Catches**
The good news is Lake St. Clair has been producing. Anglers have been pulling in excellent smallmouth bass, walleye, perch, and sturgeon. We're also seeing muskie action this time of year if you're feeling ambitious. Recently, folks have been having success with multiple species in single outings, which tells me the lake's active despite the season.
**Gear & Techniques**
For November on St. Clair, I'm recommending light tackle setups with live bait—shiners and crawlers work great for bass and walleye. If you want to throw artificials, topwater and jerkbaits can trigger aggressive bites, especially in the late afternoon when fish get more active. Deep-diving crankbaits are also solid for working the structure this time of year.
**Hot Spots**
Hit the marina areas with boat launch access—St. Clair Shores has excellent structure. The deeper channels between the shallows hold walleye and bass right now.
