I think it is good size...maybe depends on what type fishing...4 people casting lures might get dicey...minnow/bobber chairs no problem.

blavis Hotwoods makes a really a solid well built quality floating dock..i might add a swim ladder....but to be honest I really prefer fixed docks...I got a fixed dock after the floating dock and noticed we started spending most of our time on the fixed stable dock. It's really just a personal choice, but we just prefer fixed docks and usually don't have low water in the summer even during a drought and during rare high water I don't care if my fixed dock submerges for a few days as long as it stays in place. Here is our fixed dock or I guess pier.




Fishing has never been about the fish....
