St Clair

[Randy Walls]

Hey has anyone fished Lake St Clair in the last year or two. What should I expect in August? Any help will do. I have a club tourny there and am not used to fishing water like this.



Thanks guys and gals!

 

[Ken Neeley]

I have.....once or twice!!!

 

[Carlos Hathcock III]

I have visited there. Make sure to bring your cold WX gear, August is just slightly warmer winter there.....

 

[Bruce Freeman]

Ken Your Funny. Even I have fished it a time or two.. Randy there is a whole crew that live near St Clair and I am sure they will help when the time gets shorter. Right now it's probably froze solid.

Hey Ken, how do you like that Tournament V 18?



I just bought one and will pidk it up this March 12.

 

[Andrew Zuber]

Randy-

That is Marke's TV-18...Ken was just using it to fish Mini's ****.

You'll love the boat...best tin on the water!

What engine did you go with?

[TrepMan]

Of COURSE Tin rules on St. Clair!!!

 

[Carlos Hathcock III]

Trep, if you had seen the water earlier int eh day of the "bouy" picture, I bet you would not have said that HAHAHAHA



Not too much was ruling that day, other then the BIG water!!

 

[Marke Cicero]

Randy,



What launch is your club going out of? St. Clair gets rough in August with all the pleaure boats. Your TV-18 can hangle the rough water but it's not a real fun ride.....No bass boat is a fun ride on St. Clair.



Depending on what ramp you use, I can direct you to areas of the lake that have good bass fishing and reletivley light boat traffic.

Randy-

As you said...it's the catching fish that matters! LOL



I get about 38-40 mph with the 90hp...

I'm betting you'll LOVE that opti on the back!

[Randy Walls]

I have been told that the OPTI is the way to go and with gas at $2.00 plus I thought the extra cost now was worth it.



What year is Marke's boat?

 

[Marke Cicero]

Mine is an 01' with a 90hp. I used to get 38-40 like Andy but I'm running a refurbished prop so I get 35 to 37 mph.



You put you money in the right places. That Opti will be sweet and you'll the 74lb Minkota. I got a great deal on a 65lb Maxxuum last year and it's much better than the 54lb Motor guide that came with it. I have 4 batteries in my boat too so don't worry the the space.
