Ft. Desoto Bay Pier fishing Trip

Join us for another fishing trip at the Fort De Soto Bay Pier! This will be a great opportunity for anglers of all skill levels to come together, practice our skills and hopefully catch some fish! We will be teaching ethical fishing practices and abiding by all rules and regulations of the law.

BEGINNERS ARE WELCOME & gear is provided for those who need it!

There is a daily parking fee of $5 per car to enter the park. You will also encounter $1.75 of unavoidable tolls on the way to the park. We recommend carpooling with other students to save money.

Also please note the park does close at sunset, so please plan accordingly!

!!BEFORE YOU COME - Please make sure you have a valid Florida fishing license. These can be obtained from gooutdoorsflorida.com, your local tax collector, wal-mart, or sporting goods store. We will accept a print out, card, or screenshot as proof.

!!ALSO - Please make sure you have joined the sport club federation on Bulls Connect here https://bullsconnect.usf.edu/SCF/ and fill out the "Sport Club Participation Waiver Form" under resources - surveys and forms.
