Great fishing pretty much year round. Been here when it was the original bridge to get between islands. Caught 7ft, 6ft sharks, spadefish, black sea bass, black drum, bluefish, and Spanish mackerel during summer. Speckled trout, flounder, sheepshead, and redfish during late summer out through fall and winter. Tropical storms will push in different species, also. Best bet is to bring heavy tackle for the deeper water, medium for shallow, and light for using lures like voodoo shrimp or gotcha plugs. It's fun as hell out there if you know the right spots and weather is right. Use cut bait like mullet and squid... Use live bait like mud minnows, shrimp, fiddler crab inshore. Larger live baits like live mullet, croaker, small whiting, and large live shrimp will get slammed if you just drift the bait with no weight on it. Also, tarpon are hanging around the pilings. Enjoy the chaos. And wrecked tackle.
