Set beneath the live oaks of Palmetto Bluff, this guided kayak fishery opens narrow channels and secluded coves that motor craft can’t reach. The outing centers on compact, pedal‑driven Hobie Pro Angler boats, a professional guide, and focused instruction that make three hours on the water productive and accessible.

What the trip feels like

Paddle or pedal out from a shaded paddle house launch and ease into quiet eddies where bass hold near grass edges and fallen timber.
