Great place to park and fish

it's a great place to park and fish. Sometimes it's a little overcrowded but you usually can catch pin fish if nothing else. Between March and May the Mackerel run pretty good and there's always grouper and snapper to be caught, as well as sharks and kingfish if you have the right setups. Look for guys wearing TBFC on their shirts or decals on their cars. They're part of the Tampa Bay Fishing Club that you can join on Facebook or Instagram and they can usually help you out and give you sound advice.

I vacation here every year the beginning of April and there was years when I was a little kid who had no idea what I was doing where I’d catch all kinds of fish, some years I have trouble getting a couple fish the whole trip. Isn’t uncommon to get skunked but also isn’t uncommon to have an awesome day
