What fish are you seeing?

[avalanchediver]

A few years ago , for the first time, I noticed schools of Perch on almost every local wreck in Southern Lake Huron. Theny the disapeared again.... This year I have mostly been in the River, but have noticed a couple of schools of perch and quite a few large bass on the few wrecks I have been on and around some weed beds in front of my house. What is everyone else seeing?

Thanks,

Eric P.

We dived the Sport this afternoon, and I have to say the same as CMAN.... Gobies & lots of them, we did not see any thing but those little varmits.

Jared and I dove the Nellie Lyon last Friday. The viz was only 4-5 ft. but I did see some smallmouth bass and some rock bass too! When the clouds would come over it was almost brail diving!

Well Eric, I finally did my first "river dive" and first - IT WAS GREAT- but besides that we saw:
Small mouth Bass
Walleye
Rock Bass
Gobies & lots of them
and, a few crayfish that may have been fed to the Bass...pretty sweet.

I saw a burbot on the New York. Just one though. And a truck load of Gobiidae.

Hey CMAN, I did my third dive in the big river today, again lots of Gobies... Also saw lots of holes in thr clay bank, is that from the crayfish digging thier burrows or what?

BTW: WHAT A RIDE... the current was ripping & it was just like a carnival triller ride... can't wait till the next one, I'm definitly hooked.

I too love diving The St. Clair River. Most of my dives have been there. What part of the river did you dive?

 

[CMAN]

I have seen catfish in those holes in the clay bank even down at 70 ft. I don't know if they make the holes but they definately use them (usually I see this in late spring or early summer).

Well...
1. from Marine City's beach, drifting down just before the ferry dock.
* found a clay pipe, a pipe stem, and an intact (for the most part) candlestick holder

2. In and around Marine City's beach.
*found some bottles.

3. From south of the Hollyhock drifting down to the old YMCA.
