We race in Anchor Bay (north end of
Lake St. Clair). Most of the races are on the Anchor Bay north triangle
(C, A & B) or the south triangle (CR, A & B) shown below.
Each leg of the triangle is about 1.7 nm. Most races will then have a
weather leg and (2) reach legs. If the wind is out of the North or South
then we would race between CR & C which would give us a Winward/Leeward
or Leeward/Windward course which would be about 3.1 nm each way.
There are MDNR Trap Nets
near and around "A" mark of our race course. 2008 Locations

information from either the News or Freep:
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Lake St. Clair Fisheries Research Station will be conducting a fisheries survey in Anchor Bay, Lake St. Clair, from Tuesday, May 1, to Friday May 25, 2007. The primary purpose of this survey is to assess the status of predator fish populations in the lake. The survey gear used will be trap nets, located along a 10-foot contours, between the Clinton River and new Baltimore. Each of the five nets will be marked with at least two floating flags and nine smaller buoys. The nets are approximately 650 feet long. Boaters and anglers are encouraged to watch out for these markers and to avoid boating or fishing near them. Anglers who catch tagged fish, are encouraged to report the catch to the MDNR. Anglers can call the Lake St. Clair Fisheries Research Station (586-465-4771) to report catching tagged fish or if they have additional questions regarding the net survey. Anglers can also report catching a tagged fish on the internet at http://www.michigandnr.com/taggedfish.
