Fish species to expect

Shallow bay and marsh edges; panfish and perch near marsh channels. Target species often include perch and panfish in sheltered nearshore areas and marsh edges.

Best places to cast

Fish marsh edges and nearshore points; use small jigs and live bait for perch.

Reading water and signs

Watch for bird activity and surface ripples; wind and wave conditions affect access and presentation.

Approach and etiquette

Respect park rules and seasonal closures. Use designated access points and avoid disturbing marsh vegetation.

Essentials to bring

Light tackle polarized glasses insect repellent and a small net. Pack out all trash.
