Fishing Port Sanilac

Port Sanilac is a popular fishing destination.  Perch are widely available, as well as salmon and walleye.  The DNR boat launch offers a convenient place to take off from.  It also features a public fish cleaning station, complete with stainless steel cleaning stations and a “guts grinder”.  Parking is available on-site.  Fishing charters are available out of the Port Sanilac Marina.

For the little kids and boatless there is always fishing off of the break wall.  You can catch perch, cat fish, and there are always a million gobis.  Gobis are considered a “junk fish,” but are easy to catch and great fun for little fishers.

There are two public beaches in Port Sanilac.  The Village beach can be found North of the downtown area, tucked in behind the Lutheran Church.  This beach features a small public park with picnic facilities.

The second beach is adjacent to the DNR boat launch.  Located on the North side of the northern harbor break wall this beach offers a spacious beach and plenty of parking.
