Lake St. Clair
Welcome to Lake St. Clair, the ultimate freshwater playground!
A multi-species trip with Big Chubs Charters is a riot of action and variety. Captain Jordan utilizes proven, exciting methods to target the incredible diversity this world-class fishery offers. Our goal is always to deliver live wells full of fantastic-eating fish like walleye and perch, alongside hours of catch-and-release fun targeting world-class Smallmouth Bass!
Our Top Multi-Species Methods
1. Precision Trolling (Big Spreads)
We use effective trolling techniques, setting up large spreads of body baits using multiple rods and planer boards. This method covers water efficiently and often leads to fast, simultaneous action.
The Thrill: Nothing beats the sight of those planer boards flying back when a fish hits, signaling a hook-up with one of the many species calling Lake St. Clair home.
Target Species: Highly effective for Walleye
2. Advanced Casting with Forward Facing Sonar (FFS)
For an exhilarating, high-tech experience, we offer trips focused on Forward Facing Sonar (FFS) casting. This technology changes the game, offering a unique opportunity to interact with fish in real-time.
The Exhilaration: You get to watch the fish live on the screen as they approach your bait. You'll see their exact reactions, allowing you to instantly learn and adjust your retrieve and bait choice.
Target Species: Primarily focused on targeting schools of Walleye and Perch and catch and release of giant smallmouth.
