Fish near the waters off John D. MacArthur Beach State Park, then return to the dock with your catch cleaned and filleted.

“Love this group since it’s actual real fishing - not like some ‘touristy’ charters where you don’t get to touch the pole. I live when people leave poor reviews because they didn’t catch anything 😂. Obviously they don’t understand fishing; sometimes I’m good and sometimes I’m not . . . no one can make the fish come across your bait and they choose to bite or not.”
