About this spot

1 / 4

Experience

The fishing spot is praised for its diversity of fish species, including black drum, red drum, largemouth bass, and flounder, although success in catching can be inconsistent. The presence of family-friendly amenities like parking and a picnic area enhances the overall experience, making it suitable for anglers seeking variety and comfort.
Tips

For effective fishing, plan trips earlier in the day to avoid slower night opportunities. Using a light tackle setup with a 2000 size reel and a 6 ft 6 in rod can be productive, especially for targeting black drum. Artificial baits, such as pink soft plastics, have also shown success. Consider the time of day, as different species may be more active at various times.
Fishing seasons

Varied precipitation throughout the year could occasionally impact fishing conditions.
