Pete's Pier Bait & Tackle is a great place with a great pier and boat ramp. The whole area is well-maintained, clean, and monitored. The staff are always friendly, helpful, polite, professional, and super nice. They are very helpful for getting fishing gear, launching a boat, or getting a manatee tour. The boat ramp launch is organized and smooth, much more so than a typical public ramp. The price to launch and park is fair and worth the convenience. It is a great place to launch a kayak for clear water kayaking or to access Three Sisters Springs around the bend. Watch out for the paid parking. People highly recommend it and will definitely return.
Perfect one stop spot to take the boat out! Very clean location,Great staff,excellent guides if you want to go on a fishing charter. Only place I go too.
