Little Anglers Day
First casts. Big smiles. Every Thursday.
All summer long we turn the pier into a safe, family-first morning where kids learn to rig, cast, and land their own fish — and find out they belong on the rail.
This summer’s dates
Every kid 15 and under gets a morning of fishing, the basics taught right, and their own catch — theirs to reel, theirs to brag about.

Memories from the rail
Families have made this their summer tradition. First catches, new friends, and the kind of confidence that only comes from reeling in your own fish.
