This was my first time fishing Lake St. Clair. Started fishing around 5:30 am, but didn't get a bite until after 7:00 am. Then we had takes every 10 minutes or so by trolling a silver "School O' Minnows" with a Wedding Ring / night crawler at a depth of about 15'. Nothing large, they were in the 10" range. We had to stop around 8:30, but they were still biting pretty good at that time.
