SCR and Lake Huron, Walleye and coho

Went out on the St. Clair River yesterday for the first time targetting walleye with a local charter. Started out jigging a few different colours of 4” fork-tailed minnow soft plastics rigged on a 1oz jig. We had a few light bites before first light but the first fish didn’t come around until after sunrise. The stinger treble hook buried towards the back of the soft plastic was key for the light bite. Over the next few hours we landed 5 walleye from 20’-40’.

Around 11am we decided to pack up and switch gears to troll on the lake. Had a few hits in about 10’-25’ targetting coho fairly tight to shore. Passing some creek mouths and searching for stained water. We were running crankbaits, chartreuse seemed to be the hot colour for the day.

Very nice, those walleye are going to taste good.

Now that’s a trip to fill the meat freezer. Awesome.

That sounds like an interesting trip……all good eating fish too!

Nice outing great catch

Nice to harvest a few fish now that the hardwater season is over.

Great colour on the coho fillets:

Congrats! Hard to beat those spring Coho’s for table fare….

Looks delicious

Mouth watering. They only time I have had fresh coho was in BC. Delicious.

Awesome. Did you guys fish the river or the mouth for the wallies? I was in D rievr Friday ,was slow but we managed 1short of a limit.

Looks pretty tasty; good going!

Nice! We were in the river for the walleye, fished the American side as well.

Beautiful fillets... Wow.
I wonder if they are that color all yr or just in the spring?

Cheers,
