How do you fish it and whats biting there? Where would you launch from? Also any cool areas to snorkle there or near? Thinking about a memorial day trip, fishing, snorkling, and maybe having lunch on the beach there. I have never been there so GPS #'s would be helpful to find places. Thanks.

Ok that helps.

I've not yet fished this year, but have fished there around this time the last few years when it gets warm and I need to bend a rod. We usually drift the spotty bottom casting spoons, jerkbaits and plugs and usually get into plenty of Spanish macs, bluefish, ladyfish and some nice trout. Cobia may show up also. If kids are in the mix, you can't beat slow trolling silver spoons/ johnson, reflectos and clarks on light tackle. Some folks like trolling christmas tree rigs, but 3 or 4 bluefish on one is a mess. So I've heard. I don't have any numbers. We just move from one end to the other and try to figure out what is productive. Alligator point or lanark are your best bets to put in. You need more water to put in at ap vs lanark. Lanark has a $10 launch fee, but much better parking. Good luck, maybe we will see you out there.

Most all inshore species are available there on your time frame.
Your snorkeling is best done behind Isle de Chien, a lot less sharks.

Isle de Chein??? What is that?

Also, when out at DI, remember the "white trash bash". Lots of drunken numbnuts on the water Memorial Day weekend in that area. Might be a good time to fish Ochlochnee Shoals instead!

There goes the Dog Island idea. Thanks that would have been bad to find that there.
