Stopped by Doc's Bait House looking for bait while visiting the area. Although we were told they…read morewere closed, the business hours online indicated they were still open. That was frustrating, but what was even more disappointing was the interaction we had. The woman assisting us said she was new and couldn't recommend anywhere else nearby to get bait. When we asked for suggestions, another gentleman sitting there simply told us to "Google it." The overall attitude came across as dismissive and unhelpful. As visitors, we weren't expecting anything extraordinary, just a little basic customer service and local guidance. I actually feel bad leaving this review because I don't believe the people we spoke with were the owners, and I hope this isn't representative of the business as a whole. Unfortunately, our experience left us feeling unwelcome and disappointed.

We saw it all, alligators, manatees, dolphins with their babies!! Every bird you can imagine, turtles, snakes just everything out there. We also got some great views of some incredible homes and local architecture along the water which was really neat. Our captains Andrew and Pat were very knowledgeable and professional! We learned so much. The real highlight of the day was that as we were due to dock Andrew let us know that there was about to be a spaceX launch and if everyone agreed we could extend the ride a bit so we could all watch it. To our delight everyone did. My husband came down here 30 years ago at the age of 10 to see a launch that ended up getting scrubbed so for him to see his first ever real launch on our 19th anniversary was pure magic! It brought tears to both our eyes and I will forever be grateful to them for giving us that experience. Fantastic memories made and worth every penny and more! Also want to note that the boats bathroom was very clean and easy to use. They provided beverages both adult and regular refreshments. The shade kept us pretty cool but I do recommend bringing "chilly towels" and a hand fan if it's over 90 degrees. We will absolutely be returning with our kiddos on our next trip to take them as well.

In a nutshell, we trusted The Company when they gave us a relaxing weekend to ourselves in a state wildlife reserve. It was a fact finding mission to get better tabs on people's personal hobbies. Whatever. I expected as much. Nobody minded kicking up a few dollars donation to get in. I'm starting a yearly donation. I absolutely love this place. My hosts, Mark D and his son Lawrence, are often here hunting. Deer, feral hog and especially turkey. I was never a great hunter; more of a tag-a-long that soaked up nature. Since I suck at photography, I'm more or less a liability-not an asset. There's a legend that a younger Mark D was an avid gator hunter down around the Everglades in the 1970's. As that may have been illegal, I can neither confirm nor deny that. I do enjoy fishing and once properly licensed and properly permitted, we spent time on the St. John's river and a couple of inland creeks. On our second morning we fished a pond called "Peek a Boo pond"! Hand on the good book, I'm telling it true! We also brought the binoculars and saw a few gallinules, egrets, limpkins and some other birds a wading that I didn't recognize. Very surreal for us. After building a campsite, we went for a short hike, dinner and tried to enjoy some cold drinks and congregate. Nobody could stay awake! lol. The whole weekend was blissful and pressure free. If allowed to, I could easily live here!
