I've been out to Michigan City pier only once since ice out. On the way, I encountered the South Shore Train driving down the middle of the street. Every time I see that, it freaks me out! It's like, here I am driving along, trying to not run over/into anyone/anything and all of the sudden-- TRAIN!
The other oddity I frequently experience while in Michigan City is the draw bridge! I can totally understand raising it to allow boats to pass. However, I think the gate keepers get bored up there and raise it for the heck of it when they see me coming, as no boats were needing to get through!
Still, I enjoy fishing Michigan City's harbor. It's convenient in nasty weather, cause I can fish from the truck if need be.
For some unknown reason, the shoreline west of Michigan City tends to be much clearer water.
I picked a spot on the rocks, just south of the break wall. On cold days, having that break wall as a wind barrier comes in handy!
The pic doesn't really do these two justice, as they actually had vivid blue backs. I decided to keep them for the supper table.
