Fishing a Lake Erie Pier for crappie, perch and LMB's!!!

[@CincyFishDudes]

A peaceful morning fishing a Great Lake pier practically by yourself. Priceless.

I was one of the Ohio Army National Guard Engineers that built that pier out parts of M4T6 float bridge and bailey bridge parts. That was in the 70s. My children fished it, my grandchildren fished, and my great grandchildren fished it. I'm glad you enjoyed it. That is why the State of Ohio had it built.

Nice little trip to Lake Erie. Surprised how many largemouth bass showed up but the action looked good. Nice to share with the crowd brother, building bridges.

[@MattsFishinMission]

Yeah… I was surprised no smallies showed up!!! Absolutely… those guys are my 2nd family!

[@tonycraig6984]

Thanks

[@idkcousin]

Good fishing Matt!

[@stevebrockway4738]

Welcome to the North Coast! Always a mixed bag when fishing Erie. Surprised at no smallies or drum. That drag-burner might have been one though. Maybe a pier net might be in the future for there and the railway bridge. Nicely done!

[@CincyFishDudes]

Wow, you killed it there. Great video.

[@umpatas5468]

If you're going to fish the pier at camp Perry get a beach cart! Im telling you ive fished that off and on since i was 6. Im 52 now and it's a bloody pain hauling stuff out there.

[@MattsFishinMission]

Good idea!!!

I went here last year but I was so nervous because there was military everywhere. I felt like I was trespassing or wasn't allowed to be there. Do you need a special pass or anything? I also didn't know where to park so I could go on the pier. I'm actually heading up to Port Clinton in a few days. Any advice you could give if I try to go there again?

[@MattsFishinMission]

If you park by the conference center and walk to the pier I don’t think anyone would mess with you. Even though it does say fishing access was reserved for guests at the rental houses, I think you would be OK. No one came and checked on any of us during our stay

[@garrettlabelson9273]

Great video, getting ready to move to Cleveland next week, are the fish caught there safe to eat?

[@MattsFishinMission]

I imagine they would be. It’s Lake Erie so probably pretty safe.

Where can I get the Money Mustard Paddle Tail ? I am on my way to Camp Perry.

[@MattsFishinMission]

@@tonycraig6984 they went out of business. It was some fly by night bait maker.

[@tonycraig6984]

What time of year is this?

[@MattsFishinMission]
