Reviews of James T Wilson Fishing Pier
"Best pier I’ve ever been too. Fishing was ok Price was not bad for fishing only $6 for seniors Only gave four stars because staff were not friendly at all Was rudely told $1 for sightseeing but was only one trip down pier and could only be for no more than twenty to thirty minutes has cleaning stations and some seating on pier"
"This is a great place to go fishing. The pier is clean, has fish cleaning stations, small bait cutting boards all along the pier and benches for seating. There is a small fee to get on the pier but this includes your fishing license while on the pier . The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Last but not least there are a variety of fish for you to put in your cooler, if you can catch them. As a true fisherman I could spend all day at this pier catching fish and just enjoying the beautiful scenery on the water!"
"Overall, it was a good experience. The pier was nice and clean, the sight seeing was absolutely fantastic. People there were polite and courteous. The weather was perfect for sightseeing. However, I was there for fishing, not for sightseeing. The fishing was uneventful. The waters seemed uncharacteristically cold and thus, only skates and red drums were in the waters. I didn't catch anything. Note, the pier is open 24/7 and the admissions were cheap. I even got a discount for having a saltwater fishing license. To conclude, definitely fish in the summer for spot, croaker and other migratory fish. But if for those planning on going sightseeing, then it's a perfect time before it warms up too much. I would give a 5 star for the pier and review later for the fishing."
"I love the views at sunrise and sunset. Dolphins playing and listening to the waves crash. Nightfall is so peaceful. The fishing is ALWAYS great."
"Extremely Great spot for fishing. You can get bait there as well. Friendly people all around. One dollar for sight seeing. And there are many of those here as well..VIEWS..So beautiful with a great boardwalk to enjoy the scenery as well."
