Thread: Surf and Racquet Club - Question

Thinking about booking in the first week of May. Needing some advice on what to bring. It will be me and my 20 yr. old son. Should I bring the canoe to fish the Little Lagoon or should I bring the 17 ft. aluminum bass boat w/60 hp?

I'm a fan of hitting the dock lights at night, so I'd opt for the bass boat.

What do you hit them with? Live free lined shrimp, Gulp Shrimp on a jig head, something else? I've never stayed at the Surf and Racquet Club before. I saw it has boat slips the guest can use. Do the slips have electrical hooks ups so I can charge my trolling battery?

I'm a big fan of paddletail baits, but, sure, live free-lined shrimp or gulp shrimp work, too. I've caught redfish, speckled trout, and flounder on the paddletail baits in recent years. Before that, I had success using curly-tailed plastics.

I don't know about electrical outlets on the dock.

The last time I was there there was outlets in the pavillion and you will need your own extension cord to go from there to your boat. At least 50 feet and a 100 would be better.

Well that might make my decision as to whether to bring the bass boat or the canoe...
