Cattle dock Point     

This is on the west bank of the Myakka River. It has been a Red fish spot
as Long as I can remember. The Pilings close to shore have been broken off,
over time and buried by the sand, but there are still a few pilings left to fish.
Keep in mind the other pilings out farther have been reduced to stubs but some
Still stick up from the bottom a ways.
