As duff said all the above,the light house pier at Michigan city as well as the area around the mouth of Trail Creek by the DNR office are nice clean places to fish. You will need a good strong long handle net and a long strong stringer or a large ice chest to put your fish in.

Hopefully
The area around Michigan city's lighthouse and the mouth of Trail creek are concrete walls so if you fall in a guy can reach out to you with your long handled net or toss you one end of that long stringer and if that don't work they can throw your cooler at you so you can hold onto it till your rescued.

Wear a pfd and resolve part of that then use my stringer and cooler for the loads of fish I might catch? Have you fished there alot?

Years ago I did for Smelt when there were Smelt and for spring Coho along with Perch. If you fish the lighthouse pier a lot of guys bring wagons or shopping carts to haul their gear out to the wall from the parking lot. If you fish the mouth of trail creek around the DNR office or the old lighthouse museum you can park your car right where you are fishing,they have bathrooms and porta pots.
You can get a county map and spend a day exploring the areas along trail creek that are open to fishing,I don't like the creek area because it's so confining,muddy,buggy trashy crowded and jam packed with snags.

Call the dnr office on a week day and ask them for a report. If they are catching them by the office they will know. If they are catching them by the light house they will have heard about it. It can be boom or bust.
