Overview

Caseville Pier provides shore anglers with access to Saginaw Bay on Lake Huron, putting it within one of Michigan’s most important walleye-producing waters.

The pier can offer opportunities for walleye and yellow perch, while bass, freshwater drum, catfish, and other species add variety. Fishing conditions can change considerably throughout the season as water temperatures, baitfish, and wind patterns shift.

Fishing Tips

Casting jigs, crankbaits, spoons, or live-bait rigs can be effective depending on the target species. Perch anglers can use smaller hooks and minnows when schools move within casting range.

Saginaw Bay is highly affected by wind, so always check the forecast and wave conditions before fishing an exposed pier.

Bottom Line

A strong Thumb-area fishing pier offering access to Saginaw Bay and particularly attractive potential for walleye and yellow perch.
