St. Clair Fishing Report

Great opportunities await the ice angler at Brandenburg Park in New Baltimore

Ice fishing at Metropolitan Beach is great.  Going to Gino’s and fishing is crowded but fun.  So for a chnge of pace, how about taking a trip up to Brandenburg Park in Chesterfield Township?  Brandenburg Park is in New Baltimore and located on Jefferson Avenue just south of Rte. 29 and north of Salt River.  In the summer there is a fee to use the park.  The park provides great fishing for families on the nearly 500 foot pier that extends out into Anchor Bay.  Boaters are well taken care of here in the summer too.

But in the winter, Brandenburg Park appears under utilized.  The gates are open and there is no fee in the winter.  You can walk over to the pier, drill a hole and fish there (the pier is closed in the winter).  Or you can walk out onto the Bay and set up your gear off shore.  Either way, Brandenburg Park is an excellent  destination for the ice fisherman.
