Experience
The spot offers a range of fishing activities, such as bank fishing, fly fishing, and access to piers and docks. A variety of species, including Common snook and Red drum, are available. The area is equipped with boat ramps, which improve accessibility. Effective bait includes live and dead shrimp, supporting a 'put & take' fishing approach with opportunities to catch large fish.
