Bridges and Causeway
In the early spring this bridge is not the most productive part of the bay. As the water warms, however, it becomes a fish magnet. Shore anglers will do best at the north end of the causeway. There is a deep water directly under the bridges and flats on either side of the bulkhead.
Trout roam the flats during April and May in schools. As the water warms there will still be large trout around the seawalls. Use sinking MirrOlures.
In early spring and lasting through the summer there will be redfish along the drop-off from hole to flats. Shrimp, finger mullet and live crabs work best.
In the fall the trout fishing picks up again with October and November usually seeing the best action.
Boating anglers can reach the pilings and channel of the bridge. Drop grubs or live bait close to the pilings. Many of the pilings have depressions at their base and act as food traps for reds, trout, flounder, black drum and cobia. The closer you fish to structure, the better your luck.
In the fall and winter, these bridge pilings will be home to large sheepshead. Use fresh shrimp, fiddler crabs or clam strips fished next to the pilings on a small, tough hook. Set the hook at the slightest touch.
