Shore Fishing Is Sure Fun
Not everyone owns a boat or can afford to hire a charter
boat to go fishing on Lake Michigan. Luckily, many along
the Michigan public shoreline provide exciting angling
options. These public access sites — many of which
have been improved, expanded, and retrofitted to provide
opportunities for the physically challenged — include
breakwaters, fishing piers, and platforms along harbors,
river mouths, and stretches of beach.
To the shore-bound angler, pastures often seem greener
in the trolling lanes far out into Lake Michigan. But
sometimes the fishing is better close to shore, occasionally
in water so shallow boat anglers can’t reach it.
This phenomenon is especially true in early spring and
again in fall when trout, salmon, and other game fish
cruise shoreward to feed or to spawn.
