Fishing at PO Riverside

[papagooch]

Has anyone fished at the fishing hole at Port Orleans. All the resort guides I've read say $4 per 1/2 hour for the rent of the euipment. Do they charge if you bring your own rod and lures/bait? I called the resort but they just send you to an info line and not a person.

This is the only thing I found on Allears, Ive been there a few times at POR and don't know if you can bring your own equipment but I'm sure they will charge you $ to fish, but we never did the fishing.

What things are there for kids to do?

For kids (and kids at heart), catch-and-release fishing on Ol' Man Island is available at the Fishin' Hole. Open 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., it is stocked with catfish, bass, and blue gill, and a catch is almost guaranteed. Ol' Man Island is also home to a playground, where the little ones can burn off some energy (if they have any left after a day at the Magic Kingdom!). Craft activities, organized by Cast Members, are held near the pool on some days. If you're visiting during a holiday period, you may even find special activities such as an Easter egg hunt.
