The boys in our family have done the fishing excursions for the last 5 years and have another planned in just 2 weeks. The boats are not covered. Our boys tend to go first thing in the morning. They love it. Last year, my 6 yr old caught a snapping turtle by the boardwalk. He thought that was great. They have fished out of YC - at Epcot WS and Boardwalk, Wilderness, and I think the Contemporary (????). They most enjoyed the WS. In fact, grandpa is going this year and they are going to the WS again. One year DH caught several fish but his biggest one was about 6". Our sons caught twice as many and their smallest fish was 14". They tease him to this day about his fishing luck.................
DD and I love it when they go fishing because we go to the GF Spa for the morning. We are sharing the GF spa experience this year with Grandma and DH sister. I can't wait!!!!!!
If you can spare the time and the money, it can be one of the highlights of your trip. It helps our family relax. We typically do these about half way through our trip.
