Anyone ever fish the backside of the island? (for shore fishing)

i checked it out and it seemed alright. maybe shallow....

i am pretty new to catfishin and don't have access to a boat yet and looking for some suitable areas not to far away from coon rapids for weeknight evening sneek away fishing.

thanks for the heads up and hope to learn more from all of you!

Yep I have fished it a bunch and never pulled in a flat. Plenty of eyes and big northerns. Straight out from the stairs there its shallow as heck for about fifty or so yards. Also watch out for the buoy's, their ropes aren't directly below them and you will catch them. If you do catch one just pull hard and it will come free and you can just throw the buoy and weight back out. Oh and one other thing you need to know that the parks close at like 2am and they have been out and about enforcing it.
