Fishing?

[natcam1996]

Every time I try to do a search on this topic it seems the search function is disabled. Anyway, here's my question. I know about the "fishing excursions" that are offered at several resorts for about $160. But I thought I remembered reading about one that was just for kids that was about $30. I can't remember where I read it and it doesn't look like I bookmarked it anywhere. Anybody have any info on this?

This is from the WDWIG site:

Cane Pole Fishing - $6.13 for 30 minutes
Guided Bass Fishing - 3 Guest Minimum - $175 - $186

What things are there for kids to do?

For kids (and kids at heart), catch-and-release fishing on Ol' Man Island is available at the Fishin' Hole. Open 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., it is stocked with catfish, bass, and blue gill, and a catch is almost guaranteed.


This is available at Port Orleans Riverside.

I wonder if you could rent a boat or a water mouse and bring your fishing equipment?

Good luck,
