Steve Arend Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I've fished a few time off the rocks in the early spring for Cohos. And fish along the beach there at night and early morning for Walleye. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Some more info for ya..New Buffalo LighthouseEstablished: 1839-1859Location: New Buffalo, Michigan.Information:Captain Wessel Whittaker ran his schooner "Postboy" ashore near Michigan City. In the process of recovering his boat, Whittaker took note of the Galien River and believed it to be a good site for a port. Returning to New York, Whittaker encouraged some friends to purchase and survey the area now known as New Buffalo. Located ten miles southwest of Michigan City.At the time of construction only four other lighthouses existed on Lake Michigan at that time:St. Joseph, Michigan 1831 Chicago, Illinois 1832 Pottawattamie Island, Wisconsin 1836-37 Michigan City, Indiana 18371843, various people questioned utility of New Buffalo Lighthouse.In August 1859, a "Notice to Mariners" was made for the discontinuance of several lights including New Buffalo.News article states "the lighthouse at New Buffalo crumbled and fell into the water and the piers crumbled due to deterioration with age and were crushed by the pressure of ice jams bordering the lake in the winter." Keepers: Thomas S. Smith - appointed 1840 Elijah B. Pressey - appointed 1841 Reuben Smith - appointed 1845 Joseph W. Miller - appointed 1849 Reuben W. Smith - appointed 1853 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
