Hey Trophyhntr - we stayed on Little Gasparilla, too. Right across from the marina in Placida. I'd say about 1/2 mile north of Bird Key. The fishing from the dock was great. Snook, trout, jacks, sheepshead, snapper, small grouper, spadefish, ladyfish, catfish, whiting, etc.....We had a golf car with no brakes and crashed it a few times trying to make 3-point turns in the little paths that went to the beach. Went offshore once and bottom fished for big grouper once. Caught a bunch of big grunts.
