Cane Fishing - Port Orlean / Fort Wilderness

Guest · 16 May 13, 03:58 PM

My eldest DD (12) surprisingly got hooked

on the last series of Robson Green's fishing programme & is keen to have a go at catching something.

Having seen some info on the WDW site that they do 30 min / 1hr taster sessions on lakes at both Port Orleans & Fort Wilderness Resorts.

It appears quiet a fun cheap activity to pass an hour ($13 for a family up to 6 with cane pole & bait included)

My question is has anyone tried it , would you recommend it & which location would you say is better ?

Might even get DW to have a go but I think she is more interested in Robson Green than the fishing

Thanks

Mark

We tried it at the fishing hole at POR and didn't get a single bite. Neither did anyone else that was doing it. Maybe it was just an off day for the fish, but we won't be doing it again.

We've done this a few times at POR and it's a great activity. We caught quite a few fish each time. Not sure where you are staying but they do ask for room keys so I assume it's for resort guests only.

We are staying at Coronado Springs , can you drive over to PO/FW or would you need to take to bus ?

If you have a car - take it... it would be hassle to get a bus because you'd have to go to a park from CSR and then get a bus to POR

We have done it every time we have been to FLorida, only at POR though we have not tried Fort Wilderness. It is a good way to break up the day as something to do on a non park day. We musthave done it about 12 times or so, not caught everytime, but it is a great relaxing way to while away and hour or so - and the kids love it!

We fish at FW every time we go as the boys love it, there are a few very good spots, one is at a canal that feeds into the main lake, bite virtually everytime you cast out, i just asked the guy at the rental shop for the best location and he directed me that way.

We have done it and caught 2 fish at POR.

Try your luck at Celebration, on the square where you have the rocking chair, around the pond, remember to let everything back.
use hotdogs for bait, catching large brim. catfish,

Enjoy
