I hit St. Clair from 0900-1430 today. I ended up catching 11 largemouth bass. Took some time to find willing biters, but managed to get 7 off the same log in the south arm of the lake. I threw just about everything i had in my boat at them. A drop shot set up with a chompers 4 inch, rootbeer colored finesse worm did the trick. I didn't catch anything more than a pound in weight, but i got a kick out of showing an older gentleman that you can catch bass this time of year.

Hey fisnfur, how deep was the log and did you have a chance to see the water temp. Nice job for late season LMB.

Sorry, forgot about lake conditions. The water temp was hovering in the 45-46 degree range. I marked most of the fish at 15-25 ft deep. Most were suspended which led to my choice for drop shotting. Instead of rigging the bait 12-18 inches up from the weight, I opted for 30-36 inches. I spent alot of time searching for humps/logs on the bottom in and around 20 foot. If you can find them, you will find fish. Don"t overlook spinnerbaits. I had several follow mine to the boat while trying shallow cover (black with chartreuse/red tipped trailer). Had i used trailer hooks I am sure one or two would have been hooked up.
