Our ds did the kids fishing trip from the Beach Club. Actually I got confused and the real pickup was suppose to be at the Boardwalk dock, but the nice cm drove our ds over in the boat. Its really up to 12 but at the dock he also let ds 13 come. The one thing our ds did not like was the insistence that they wear life jackets when the boat was moving. They are all excellent swimmers. They thought it was funny that the captain used hot dogs for bait. They caught several bluegills or sunnies as we call them. They mostly stayed by the shore of the lake. I dont remember how long they were gone but there is a time limit. If you are going during a busy time, book it up ahead of time. Its not cheap, but our ds enjoyed it. We have also done the family bass fishing trip from the Poly. We always talk about how fun it was.
