Does anyone know if the channels are mud or where to find cleaner water
Hard to see the channels in any of yesterdays images but I'm guessing the wind yesterday didn't help the mud coming down from Saginaw Bay. This image looks like there's reasonably clear water coming into the St Clair river.

Ive never been to st clair if anyone has any helpful advice that would be great. The plan is to try and do like keyes outdoors, bulldawgs and cranks on the channel breaks. If anyone finds a good place for lunch or something let me know. This time of the year we usually just bring a camping grill and do soup and sandwichs on the tailgait.

I have not fished the north channel before either so it is all new to me too. Jim told me that Deckers is a good place for food and I think they have a boat launch there as well. We could plan on meeting there for lunch sometime in the afternoon.
Not sure who all is going tomorrow. It looks like Nick and Doug, Kevin and Adam, and Chris and I make 6. Anyone else planning on making the trip?
2 for 3 Saturday

I fished alone from around 7:30-dark. I had a hit on a Motown white bass jig right away but didn't hook up. Later in the day I hooked up with a good fish that might of been landed with a net man but got off at my feet. Shortly after that fish I lost a big fish that wasn't hooked very well and shook the hook when it went airborne. As if loosing fish on a brutal day wasn't bad enough I had a Okuma rod with a Calcutta B fly out of the boat. I've kept my rods in that same spot forever and never had a problem even going down the highway, it was a hard and depressing lesson to learn that's for sure, but as Brett will tell ya it could of been worse.
Good job out there boys.
Highlight of our day was when we were fighting the current with the wind at our back. After nearly 30-40 mins joking around and complaining about being miserable I look down at the graph and realize that we have been casting to the same spot for who knows how long. Needless to say, there were no fish in that spot.
Fish were definitely going that day but unfortunately we were never in the right place at the right time. I raised a pike. Matt's Lexa started having fits. Knowing Doug and Nick were catching fish got in our head. It was a long drive home.
Hopefully Murray stays open for one more week.
