If you're looking for places to go on your own:
You can fish from the jetties at the ship channel and the park by the marina (near the ferry landing).
If you have or rent kayaks, there are several places to launch, including the Lighthouse Lake paddling trails on the other side of the ferry crossing.
My best luck from my kayak has always been at Wilson's Cut that is across the highway from the Sandpiper/Sea Gull condo towers (https://maps.app.goo.gl/72JnqHRHzc7pxkU66)
You can also fish from the banks of the Packery Channel on the south end of the island. (https://maps.app.goo.gl/Miww4VynEAwmXeQ19)
