That’s a great little area to fish and it’s so close to the launch. You couldn’t have had a better day! Nice catches!

Looks like a great day of fishing. I have been wanting to fish the LB area. How much does it cost to park and launch at the South Shore?

$12. Really short paddle to get there too. First time fishing the pylons since there is usually a cruise ship there.

Great. So when you say 'short paddle to get there' do you mean these Pylons or some other general area of fishiness? Whats a good starting point? Many thanks!

We usually start on the rocks along the Queen Mary and fish docks on the way back in. To get to the pylons, just make a right at the end of the rocks. If there is a cruise ship there, they will chase you away. Most fish were caught on hookup baits, chartreuse and red crab. My son got his bigger bass on 4" swim bait.
