My bass season starts in May with the newly added catch & release season that opens the last Saturday in April.  This season opened  in 2006 for the first time.  Few people new how exciting this could be fishing the heavily concentrated smallmouth bass in Lake St.Clair.  These fish at this time of year respond better to tube jigs, spinner baits, top water and fly fishing is fantastic also. The size of these smallmouth and numbers at this time of year are astonishing.  You owe it to yourself to come check this out.
