The shore of the Detroit River was packed on Saturday morning with hundreds of out-of-town anglers casting their bait for silver bass.

“It’s biting like crazy,” said Sergey Popov, who left Hamilton in the early morning hours to get to Windsor by 7:30 a.m. and start fishing on the shore at Centennial Park.

It seems word has spread that Windsor is the place to go for silver bass – also known more formally as white bass – in spring.

Several anglers who came in from Toronto said they heard from friends or read online in fishing forums that the Detroit River is the best place in the region for this kind of fish.

Around this time each spring, the silver bass make their way up the Detroit River from Lake Erie to spawn and then head toward Lake St. Clair for the summer, said Willis Beam, a member of the Belle River chapter of the Muskies Canada sport fishing association and a well-known local bass fisherman.

The river is so full of fish in the spring that many anglers on the waterfront on Saturday had practically filled their coolers by lunchtime.
