Little Jim's dates back to World War II, when thousands of sailors and soldiers were being trained on North Hutchinson Island. Only authorized personnel could go to the barrier island and the building that is now the bait shop was the guard shack and checkpoint at the bridge.

Bottom fishing and trolling around these reefs will produce good catches of a variety of reef fish, including Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper (Black Snapper), Red Snapper, Vermillion Snapper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, King Mackerel, Amberjacks, Barracuda, and Sharks.

Head on down to Dylan's Master Bait Shop (it's in between the South Park Entrance and the Silver Lake Parking Lot).
