Overview

The Pier at Luna Pier provides direct fishing access to western Lake Erie, placing anglers within one of the Great Lakes’ most productive warm-water fisheries. Its southeastern Michigan location makes it particularly attractive to anglers targeting walleye and yellow perch without a boat.

Spring can bring increased fishing activity as walleye and other species move through western Lake Erie, while perch, drum, catfish, and other fish can provide opportunities at different points of the season.

Fishing Tips

Minnows and perch rigs are natural choices when yellow perch are present. Walleye anglers can experiment with jigs, minnows, and casting presentations depending on water conditions.

Wind direction is particularly important on Lake Erie because it can quickly change water clarity, waves, and pier fishing conditions.

Bottom Line

One of southeastern Michigan’s most appealing public fishing piers, especially for anglers interested in Lake Erie walleye and perch.
