Lake St Clair US Bass Opener 2018 Tournament Results
Opening day bass fishing results fluctuate with seasonal temperatures. There is no way to know how they will be next year, but this year we took a stab at guessing what the best catch over last weekend would be:
As it turns out, we were able to find some results from events, plus had a couple of clubs check in. Thank you Michigan Bass Anglers and Michiana Casting Couples for giving us a look at what weights were available on Lake St. Clair on opening day.
First off, we have a report from Michigan Bass Anglers. Their event was on Sunday, launched at Harley at 6:00am, and went to 3:00pm. They were scheduled to launch 10 boats at their club event. Here is the report from the President, Paul Wagner:
“Our club winning weight was 18.98 pounds, , Chaz Poindexter and Bam Beydoun won it, Bam also had big fish with a 4.57 smallmouth.”
We got a terrific report from Michiana Casting Couples. They launched at the Clinton River Cutoff boat access and were projected to have 15 boats.
