    Fishing in Michigan city

    Does anyone know of a good place to catch some fish from the bank in or near Michigan city. Here this week on vacation with the family. My nephew is dying to catch a smallmouth. Appreciate any information. Thanks

    Washington Park jetty, rip a small red rattle trap, but be careful-might hook into a steelhead too. Smalljaws are fickle there, depends on winds.

    Agree with Brian, that jetty at Washington Park, is about the only place.

    Of course I talk to myself...sometimes I need expert advice.

    Clear lake in LaPorte (15 min away) is a great place to shore fish. The entire lake is accessible from shore. No smallies but there are decent sized bass, pike, and bowfin. I don't pan fish but there are gills and crappie as wells.
