Beautiful place with all the fisherman

Disappointing experience. Fishing was very poor (we are experienced...but I know how fishing can be at times). Cabin was so-so. Furniture and carpet were really bad (couch especially) and things like smashed bugs on the wall that were missed in the “cleaning” process are just not impressive. Bonfire pit was disappointing (we love bonfires) as it was 2 plastic chairs and a steel wheel in the dirt next to the driveway. Had to leave a day early b/c we seriously damaged a boat hitting a dead head just NW of Pine Island a half hour after Dan himself said “we don’t have those here” (I asked him b/c I’d seen 1 earlier in the day/marked it on my GPS & wanted to know how prevalent that danger is)...so he either doesn’t know about this danger or just lied to me. Wasn’t impressed with getting nickle/dimed too (they charge for maps, launching your boat, etc.)...things that should just be included when paying $175 /night. Had to take out/relaunch our boats every day, even when coming in just for lunch, b/c no docks b/c of high water (but docks can be raised)...was only 1 other group of fishermen when we were there though, so maybe could have just tied to the launch dock. Buy your tackle before paying way too much for it in their tackle shop. One of the owners was very kind to us when we had a vehicle issue though. She was helpful...but you can’t help yourself b/c there’s no cell/internet service there. I suppose they may come on here & say we didn’t “complain”, but I couldn't see what they could have done (at the time) to fix any of these things.

Just a question for you does anybody remember Mels place back in the 70s

Clean and cozy cabins! Friendly staff that made me feel at home. Bought my minnows at the tackle shop near the pier and I picked up a nice map of the bay as well.
