Lake Erie Map

My central basin map shows a "dumping ground" a mile or so north of the PI point. Is this a must avoid area??

    No.
    There are lots of dumping grounds that aren't even marked.

    On the internet, EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion!

    I think it's the runoff water from the streets in the city,I may be wrong but that's my guess.

    I believe it is dredging spoils (i.e from the channel and turning basin in the bay), when they (ACOE/EPA?) allowed open lake disposal of these materials.  I'm not sure it's used anymore.  There are no navigational hazards in this area, if that's your concern.
     
    oops.....sorry I missed the link that SteelSlayer77 posted that provided an answer.

    And you think, Conneaut, the "Crystal Meth Capital of the World" is a harbor? LMAO

    For most of this summer, the channels in and outside of Presque Isle Bay were dredged, as they are every few years, and the spoils were taken to the area off the point that the OP mentioned and discarded.
    Many a bass tourney has been won off of that area.  Walleye like it too.

    You better avoid areas like that, unless you want to catch something like this.  We were bass fisnin' out there a few weeks ago and kept throwing 10" perch back.  When we hooked up with these, I said "you have to die, you look too tasty".  at the end of the day, I was wishing we had kept those 10" ones too!
