Once you get to the beach the best fishing area is eastwards towards Hurlestone point and anywhere from the river mouth onwards is worth trying
It is nearly impossible to acquire a license from another fisherman, and it is absolutely impossible to purchase a new one from the state two reasons the commercial fishing industry on Lake Erie feels parlous, to say the least
Note that there may be more than one best fishing knot for the various item of tackle used
