Boater Reviews
Amazing landscape. Caught some blue crab. Not busy, not a lot of boats or traffic. Even got to see a dolphin swim by. It was great
Pretty much only place to fish on this island not on boat and not wade fishing. Watch out for boats, ferry, and pelicans and you will have a great time. Caught a few and some sharks. Here are pics of the friends day drinking and fishing
Breathtaking view in the evening. I can't remember seeing a more beautiful sky while fishing on any pier. On the down side, the mosquitoes almost carried us away. Next time, we are definitely bringing bug spray if we plan to stay for more than 5 minutes!
Great fishing location! Nice parking lot and even some portable bathrooms (not perfect but pretty nice when needed). Easy access to the docks (just need to give right away to boats as needed). Plenty of birds as well.
This place was great . Had hip surgery 4 weeks ago they were very accommodating for my disability
