Advice for tomorrow, Saturday, kayak or 18' cc?

[grady1007]

Given the wind tomorrow, I'm thinking of my kayak tomorrow and the center console Sunday. Questions:
Is Burns Ditch the only spot fishable by kayak that is likely to hold fish?
Are there coho in the marina at East Chicago and lakers/coho along the Inland wall, or is it too early?
In Burns Ditch, is bait a winning strategy (shrimp), or will casting Cleos likely be better?
Opinions much appreciated!

Gonna be cold out of the kayak! Got a drysuit?

By kayak right now, Burns Ditch from the mouth to the graywater discharge/confluence of Salt Creek is a good choice. Bait or casting, both work. Kinda depends on the day I think which is better

Michigan City from the Coast Guard, and maybe 1/2 mile up Trail Creek also has coho and fishable by kayak. Trolling thin fins, or anchoring up and casting bait in holes both work

A lot of fish have been taken with bait on the bottom compared to bobber fishing in Michigan City recently


I know people we catching coho and lakers at Gary Light, the fish are around

Thanks, I dress warm under stocking foot chest waders with water shoes, not boots, and an ice fishing coat. It works very well. I never thought of Trail Creek. Will likely give it a try. I hope to fire up the smoker tomorrow night....

Grady keep in mind Sunday and 50 degrees means LOTS OF BOAT TRAFFIC in and out the creeks be prepared to tolerate all the boats
