“We really appreciated getting to try some casual fishing off the pier on vacation - our first ocean fishing experience! It was a perfect turn key solution for my son and I - rented poles and bought bait very at reasonable prices. They has the supplies we needed and a fridge of cold drinks, what more could we want! We fish lakes in the midwest, so we really appreciated talking with the guys running the shop who were really nice and gave us some pointers for ocean fishing.
We didn't catch more than a bait fish, but while we were on the pier we watched some giant sting rays go by, saw a sea turtle, had a puffer fish steal our shrimp, and got to see someone land a big Amberjack. There were also schools of Mullet and a guy was throwing a net and brought up several. So even with no big prize, it was a great time!
We took a break for lunch and some swimming with the family and they held our rented rods for us - not sure if that is normal, but it was appreciated!
The shop seems to be run by retired guys who like the atmosphere more than making a buck - it was a cool vibe. The place doesn't open early, and may not be sharp on the hours posted here, so heads up that you may want to buy bait the night before if you are serious about an early morning.“
