The park was otherwise…read moreempty and it was nice to sit on the bench and look out at the Caloosahatchee River which was super calm at 7am. Other than some picnic tables and a port-a-potty, there aren't any services here. They do have signs posted that overnight trailer parking is not permitted (but maybe camper parking is?). There was another sign that there's a high bacteria level and wading is not recommended. Enjoy the park and being near the water! [Review 398 of 2025 - 2045 in Florida - 23960 overall]

This park is a small spit of land at the base of the Caloosahatchee Bridge. It lies along the…read moreCaloosahatchee River making it a great spot for fishing but a free salt water fishing license is required. The parking here is also free. Lee County Parks & Recreation took over responsibility of the North Shore Bridge Access from the State of Florida in August of 1987. A pier was added to the park in 2000 which was paid for with proceeds from the three cent bed tax imposed on short-term tourist stays in Lee County. The park is home to the Edison Sailing Center which offers sailing and power boat safety lessons here. Note that although North Shore Park has a beach, swimming is not permitted. Restroom facilities are port a potties. I enjoyed taking a walk on the trail that runs from the parking lot to the base of the bridge. You can get a stunning view of the river, especially at sunset.

I spent most of the trip sea sick, as there were 4-6 ft swells that day. My daughter was right…read morebeside me doing the same. We were 20 miles out and once I lost sight of land it was over. Grown men were also sick, so I didn't feel like such a wimp. The two in our group who weren't sick caught plenty of fish. The following day I went backwater fishing with a guide instead, and caught some fish. If you're looking for something affordable this is a great route. But definitely take dremamine!!!

It was a beautiful day for a very slow cruise in the Gulf, and that's what we got. Never got on…read moreany fish, most people on the boat were skunked, the couple of fish that were caught were small. The cruise was from 9:30am to 4pm, with 2 hours traveling out and 2.5 hours traveling back for 2 hours of fishing. That's if we stayed in one spot. We hit multiple no-fish-found locations that had us cruising around some more. Nobody talked to us while we were fishing, nobody gave us any advice, nobody cared at all that everyone but two of us were skunked for the day. In fairness, if we talked to the mate, he was nice, but only if we talked to him. We'd be fishing, the engine would randomly start, and we'd take off. Presumably to the next spot. The last time we just headed in. Nobody said anything to the people fishing. Nobody said that they were sorry for no fish, thank you for coming out to fish with us today, or anything at all. Nothing. Zero. Zippo. They apparently didn't pack any give-a-darn on the boat that day. As a life-long fisherman and user of charter captains for decades, I've never had an experience like this. They Really. Did. Not. Care. Even more disappointing was arriving back at the docs at the end of the day and see other boats tossing huge carcasses to the pelicans. A bad fishing day is a bad fishing day, but it sure looked like there were fish to be caught, and at least our boat was never able to put us on them. They lost some repeat customers.

The signs and rates are a little misleading/confusing as there are many signs posted on the grounds…read moreand ones visible from the road. Be prepared that the trip will be 2.5 hours each way so there is total 4 hours of fishing. Chase and Ryan were really good boat mates. Many of the people on board didn't want to unhook their own fish so they were working hard being only 2 mates for the entire boat. The captain was nice enough to show a younger boy the wheelhouse. They allowed us to use the shark poles which is very unlikely on a party boat which was very much enjoyed.

When I see deep sea fishing I don't expect to go out to catch bait fish but this is honestly what they targeted. I would not recommend this trip or the company. When I wrote to them to ask for a refund I was told basically that it's fishing and they never responded after that. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT IF YOUR HAPPY OR NOT!! SAVE YOUR $100 AND FIND A SEAWALL OR DOCK. THE BOAT EVEN CAME BACK 45 MINUTES EARLY!!! BEWARE OF THIS!! I TRULY JUST WANT TO HELP PEOPLE NOT GET SCAMMED!!!

We got lucky and one person was leaving and signaled us they were leaving. That was a very nice gesture. My only complaint was they did not give us their paid parking ticket to enhance my free visit. :)

So weather was perfect Wednesday wake up at 5 am to get ready for our trip and I get a text 530 saying seas were to high to go out and bay fishing would be our only option at this point. So I canceled and tried to find another charter to go on before we left and never found one. Found out all that I called every other deep sea charter went out that day. Not that it matters but I will never try this place again.
