First Erie outing Saturday; launch advice?

Hey all.  Going to head up to Erie this Saturday.  Figure we'll leave around 5am and get up there by 7am.  Looking for a launch with a bait store for shiners, or a launch with a bait store to hit close by.  Dragging a 19.5' starcraft, should be able to launch pretty much anywhere half decent.  Plan to run out a mile or two and bottom bounce for perch.  I'm assuming that on a nice weekend day there should be a "pack" wherever the perch are, which should get us into the right ballpark.  
 
Any launch advice is appreciated.  There aren't any recent threads about the available public launches.  We're coming up 79, fine with launching anywhere reasonable.  Thanks!

    I agree, East ave. would be best. Not sure how familiar you are with the area but 79 turns into the Bayfront pkwy. Follow the Bayfront east until you get to Port access rd. Go straight at the light and you'll end up on East ave. Hang a left down the hill and follow the rd. The pack will probably be 4 miles or so out off of Presque Isle. Good luck.
