re: Fishing without a boat

yes the pier is open but I haven't been out there. The little inlet that leads from the lake to villa do lac apartments and lakeshore estates right by the twinspans is also solid for trout/redfish. I've caught pretty much everything over there, though, from sharks to catfish to stingrays to gar. All just depends on the bait. I had some nice pinfish I caught with my cast net and caught a couple large reds last summer. Good luck.
