Lake St. Clair April 8

Yes water levels still low, would not chance running Flats until later in year. Water temps running about 38/39 degrees (maybe 40 today) - about 2 weeks behind last year. Perch have moved out of canals and harbors -- crappie moved in or at least biting. SM just arriving in close (same time as the swallows showed up). A lot of wind past few days has Lake really muddy. Hooked by accident a 3lbm SM and released succesfully on Sunday.

Thanks for report...40 degrees surprises me, thought it would be a little warmer

I gues it's crappie fishing for a while(LOL)

Crappie fishing is fun! Especially on Lake St. Clair where there are so many huge crappie. Huge bluegills too! I've driven over there from Lansing a number of times just to fish for panfish.
