Picture this: You're out on the sparkling waters of Lake St. Clair, the sun's just peeking over the horizon, and your rod suddenly bends double with the weight of a monster walleye. That's what you're in for with City Limits Sportfishing. We're talking about a full-on walleye bonanza, with the chance to hook into some beefy muskies, tasty perch, and hard-fighting catfish to boot.

And with room for up to three guests, it's perfect for a day out with your buddies or treating the family to some quality time on the water.

What to Expect on the Water

Alright, let's talk tactics. When May rolls around, Lake St. Clair turns into walleye central. We'll be trolling the lake, using tried-and-true methods that consistently put fish in the boat. It's not uncommon to have multiple rods go off at once - talk about a good problem to have! If you're more of a hands-on angler, we can head over to the St. Clair River for some jigging action. There's something special about feeling that telltale 'thump' when a walleye hits your jig. And let's not forget about the gear - we're using top-notch equipment to make sure you've got the best shot at landing that trophy fish. From our state-of-the-art fish finders to our carefully selected lures, we've got all the bases covered. Just bring your fishing license and a good attitude, and we'll take care of the rest.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

You know what keeps our clients coming back year after year? It's not just the fish (though that's a big part of it). It's the whole experience. There's something magical about being out on Lake St. Clair as the mist rises off the water in the early morning. The excitement of watching your rod tip bounce as a walleye takes the bait. The satisfaction of reeling in a personal best. And let's not forget the stories and laughs shared on the boat - some of the best memories are made between bites. Our guides aren't just experts at putting you on fish; they're also full of local knowledge and fishing tales that'll keep you entertained all day long. By the time you step off the boat, you'll be already planning your next trip.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye: These golden-eyed beauties are the star of the show here on Lake St. Clair. Known for their tasty white flesh, walleye are prized by anglers and chefs alike. In May, we see some of the best walleye fishing of the year. These fish typically range from 15 to 25 inches, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 30-inch monster. Walleye tend to hang out near drop-offs and weed edges, and they're most active during low light conditions. There's nothing quite like the fight of a big walleye - they'll give you a run for your money!

Muskellunge (Musky): Often called the "fish of 10,000 casts," muskies are the apex predators of Lake St. Clair. These toothy critters can grow upwards of 50 inches and put up one heck of a fight. While we primarily target walleye, hooking into a musky is always a possibility and trust me, it's an experience you won't forget. Muskies are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic jumps. Landing one of these beasts is a true trophy, and Lake St. Clair is one of the best places in the world to do it.

Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you - yellow perch might be smaller than walleye or musky, but they're a blast to catch and even better to eat. These feisty little fish often school up in big numbers, meaning when you find them, the action can be non-stop. Perch fishing is a great option if you're bringing kids along or if you just want to fill the cooler with some of the tastiest fish in the lake.

Catfish: Last but not least, we've got the whiskered warriors of Lake St. Clair - catfish. These bottom-dwelling bruisers can grow to impressive sizes and put up a fight that'll leave your arms aching (in the best way possible). While they're not our primary target, hooking into a big catfish is always a welcome surprise. They're most active at night, but we occasionally catch them during daytime walleye trips.
