What a great place for all levels of anglers. Very few places can boast so many species in one area. Anglers can expect Groupers, Snappers, Spotted Seatrout, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepheads, Tarpon, Snook, Jack Caravelle just to name a few recently captured and released. 4 Fishing piers are available and you can fish between them off the seawall. The rocks and rubble provide excellent structure for those lightning fast Gag Groupers.

A beautiful and peaceful place to spend the evening. Gorgeous view of Sarasota across Sarasota Bay with free parking restroom facilities and nice walking pass as well as the well-kept fishing pier. It seems like a very safe location and it’s right next to the moat marine facility.The park seems to be open 24 hours although the sign said the bathrooms close at 10 but we’re already locked at 9 PM the night that I went there still another pleasant place to visit for free in the Sarasota Bradenton area and worth the visit

Beautiful day for fishing. The piers are great spots and have plenty of space to spread out. We also saw 2 manatees!

Decent spot for fishing, I would recommend the other side of New Pass (Bird Key) if its not too busy. I have caught a variety of fish here, ladyfish, mackerel, grouper, lizardfish, snapper, etc. Surprisingly diverse

What a great place to spend with the family they have the best clam chowder and other lunch items are just sit at the bench or a picnic bench right by the water and enjoy boats that go by. Did I mention they also Supply the bait? Well yes they do. Live bait fishing gear anything wrong with your pool just ask. Ask Ian or Terry or any of those wonderful people that work there truly a hidden treasure
