Little Anglers Day — Kids Fishing Mornings
Every Thursday this summer we hand the rail over to the kids: rods and bait provided, volunteers at every elbow, and a first-catch photo they’ll keep longer than the t-shirt. It’s become the thing Pelican Point families plan their week around.
What folks say on the drive home
★★★★★
“My daughter caught her first fish at Little Anglers Day and the man behind the Outfitter counter cleaned it for us like it was a trophy marlin.”
★★★★★
“Driftwood Burger at noon, ice cream at three, sunset from the deck. We did absolutely nothing else all day and it was perfect.”
★★★★★
“The conditions board actually gets updated every morning. Checked it at 6, drove out at 7, limit of pompano by 10.”
The light changes from the rail to the grill window to the deck chairs. The people behind the counter don’t.
