There are docks on the east end and the northwest at private launches, but I think you can fish them for a fee.
The public launch does not have a dock (or at least it didn't a couple of yrs ago)

We fished for about 15 minutes before the skeeters tried to carry me off. Straight out from the docks as far as you can cast. Corn and worms work good as well.
