Recording in 26-30fow, Suckers can be seen holding tight to the river bottom and staying out of the faster current flow. Walleye and Whitefish will also sit on bottom but like to suspend and move around as well. Coho Salmon have a very high tendency towards suspending in the water column. Vertical jigging today, a jighead and minnow is visible at times.

Recording in 32fow, it takes a lot of concentration to position the camera correctly, relative to the river bottom, a lot like vertical jigging. This is especially true when the depth and bottom are variable. Whitefish, Coho Salmon and Suckers can be seen swimming in this area.

Recording in 20-26fow, Suckers and Walleye will use any change in bottom to help catch a break from the current flow.

Recording in 28-30fow, a constant flow of debris can be seen drifting with the current past Suckers, Whitefish and Coho Salmon.

Recording in 30fow+, on the transition between shallower water with weed remnants and deeper water with more sand bottom, Suckers, Whitefish and Walleye can be seen here. Vertical jigging with a minnow and jighead.

Recording in 20-26fow, the bottom changes frequently and weed remnants can be seen in this depth range.

Recording in 30fow+, in this area today, it was more likely to see Whitefish and Coho Salmon in the 28-30fow+ depth range than shallower previous drifts.

February on the St. Clair River, drifting with current in 20-25fow. In this area I found Suckers, Walleye and Whitefish. During the cold water periods, fish tend to group together tightly, hanging out in small and specific areas. Find the right area and you just might find a pile of fish!

February on the St. Clair River, Suckers and Walleye are grouped together, frequenting any changes in bottom that block the current even slightly.
