It’s definitely Saturday on Lake St. Clair. Boat traffic is relentless.
Bill Weidler is right in the middle of it. This spot he’s fishing is like an interchange on the interstate. Folks and boats of all sizes coming and going from every direction. It’s a constant washing up and down. And the noise factor is off the charts.
Makes me wish I had Weidler’s ear buds in my ears. And having the pedestal seat makes more sense as well.
Weidler is doing the same thing virtually every angler is doing in this lake, focusing on grass pods or hard bottom around grass to find and catch fish.
He’s just doing it in that mid-range depth. Jay Yelas is up shallow. Everyone else is 18- to 20-feet deep. Weidler is fishing in 13-feet.
The area is big and it’s located on edge of a big bay where fish transition from bay to lake and vice versa.
Right now, though, it’s the boats that are doing the majority of transitioning.
