Southeast Lower Peninsula Lake Erie: Perch fishing was good. The better numbers came from the Michigan-Ohio line and between Stoney Point and the River Raisin buoys. A couple boats did well in 18 feet of water out from the River Raisin channel. A couple walleye were caught in shallow water along the beach at Sterling State Park. Detroit River: Catch rates for walleye were slow in the lower river however perch anglers picked up some fish in 8 to 15 feet of water when using minnows. Lexington: Pier anglers caught salmon on spoons. Some caught the occasional steelhead or brown trout. Large pike were also caught on spoons. Water temperatures were 64 degrees. Port Sanilac: Pier anglers caught the occasional salmon, steelhead or brown trout when casting spoons or floating spawn under a bobber. Harbor Beach: Is producing a few salmon in the Edison Channel. Anglers are casting rapalas from the Edison access site. Saginaw Bay: Some perch were caught off the old Dumping Grounds which is north of the Saginaw River. Anglers will want to move around if it gets too crowded. Those trying to perch off Quanicassee were fishing from the last channel marker to waters 11 feet deep but catch rates were very slow.
