How's the Fishing?

Mound House property offers many activities and tours to fill up a leisurely afternoon. We get many visitors who simply want to fish off the pier, and some of them come for multiple days at a time. The Eades family from Bristol, Tennessee, pictured below, came to Fort Myers Beach in June this year for Donna Eades father Raymond Pennington’s first visit to Florida. Raymond liked it so much that they returned for a second time this week and wound up fishing off the Mound House dock for three days.
The family managed to have some luck while fishing too – about 100 fish (between the three of them). Even ‘Chili Dog’ had a good time enjoying the weather in his jazzy doggy-stroller. Raymond, 94, enjoys fishing with his daughter and son in law on Emerald Isle in North Carolina as well, and has even appeared in the local papers back home like The Johnson City Press for his catch.
