Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 12:57 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Macomb

Fishing near Macomb, MI revolves around Lake St. Clair, the Clinton River, and connected canals, giving anglers a mix of big-water opportunities and protected inland-style fishing. Lake St. Clair is shallow and fertile, which keeps fish feeding aggressively for much of the open-water season. Nearby access points along the Macomb County shoreline make it easy to launch a boat, work from a kayak, or fish from shore and piers.

Seasonal patterns are crucial in this area. In early spring, focus on river mouths, canals, and warming bays where smallmouth bass, pike, and panfish slide in first. Slow presentations are key: 1/8–1/4 oz tube jigs, hair jigs, and small suspending jerkbaits in natural shad or goby colors produce well. Walleye often push through the St. Clair River system and into the lake; vertical jigging with lighter jigs tipped with plastics or minnows works in deeper cuts and channels.

By late spring and early summer, Lake St. Clair’s famous smallmouth bass bite peaks. Target 8–15 feet around gravel, isolated rock, and scattered weed clumps. Drag tubes, Ned rigs, and drop-shot rigs along bottom, and keep colors simple—green pumpkin, watermelon, and brown goby patterns. When the wind pushes baitfish against shorelines or points, switch to moving baits like spinnerbaits and squarebill crankbaits to cover water quickly.

Summer brings stable patterns. Weedlines and mid-lake humps hold bass, walleye, and panfish. Use your electronics to find subtle rises or inside turns in the grass. For bass, a drop-shot with 3–4" minnows or finesse worms fished just off bottom is deadly. Walleye usually relate to deeper edges and current seams; bottom bouncers with spinner rigs and crawler harnesses are a staple. Panfish stack up along weed edges in canals and marinas—tiny jigs tipped with waxworms or soft plastics below a float are consistent producers for bluegill, perch, and crappie.

Muskie and pike are headline species near Macomb on Lake St. Clair. Late spring through fall, work large inline bucktails, big crankbaits, and rubber baits along weed beds, breaks, and current lanes. Keep your baits just above the vegetation and always finish with a figure-eight at boatside. On windy days, key on wind-blown weedlines where bait is pushed in tight; on calmer days, slow down with jerkbaits or rubber lures.

Fall may be the most overlooked season. Cooling water pushes smallmouth, walleye, and muskie onto steeper breaks and remaining green weedlines. This is prime time for fewer but bigger bites. Jigging spoons, lipless crankbaits, and heavy tubes fished in 12–20 feet can produce trophy smallmouth. For muskie, large rubber baits and big cranks trolled or cast along edges excel as fish feed heavily before ice-up.

Tactical tips for Macomb-area fishing include watching the wind and water clarity. Lake St. Clair is wind-driven; use the breeze to your advantage by drifting across productive flats while dragging jigs or live bait. Downsizing line—8–10 lb fluorocarbon leaders for bass and walleye—often increases bites in clear water. In canals and the Clinton River, stealth matters: approach quietly, cast upstream or ahead of the boat, and let your presentation move naturally with the current. Matching lure size to forage—goby, shiner, and perch profiles—is often more important than color here.
