    You can fish on the same bridge. I used to fish there and caught all kinds of fish but, Tarpon fishing was the most fun. First you do it at night with clear skies and some moon light. You are going to need some heavy fishing equipment. I you need a big old grappling hook and a long rope. Also if you are way out on the bridge you will need some kind of net or long pole with a detachable hook to land the fish. It's a long walk to the end of the bridge with a big fish on the tow. The Technic is as follows. You walking troll the upside of the bridge current. The fish will be standing under the bridge with their heads against the current. You can catch fish on the down side but it's much harder. After you hook a fish you have throw the gear into the water with the rope attached of course. Hold on to the rope and slowly release until the gear is visible on the other side of the bridge. Your mate will have to lower the grappling hook in the light from the head mounted flashlight and catch the gear and pull it up. Never let go of the rope until your buddy has it in his hands. Now the fight can start. If the current is strong it will be a difficult to avoid the other bridge pillars and it's better to fish when the current goes the other way. You can use bait or lures. The tricky part is to get it past the pillars without getting snagged. When a pillar is coming wind up and jump the bait with a jerk so it flies in the air a bit. Then you just let the bait go in a bit under the next bridge gap. Don't try do do this trolling without a grappling hook system because you are not going to get even a small 10 pounder up.good luck

    Brother I fish this bridge all the time with my boat and I catch hog fish and snapper and grouper and everything. My little secret to you is use a smaller bass hook because these fish are so smart on a circle hook even at a one odd They will pick it off every time. Small hook is the trick.

    Fish the shadows bro...most of the bigger fish are hiding in the shadows near the pillars of those bridges. And if you can see the fish, the fish can see you too, so that will effect your strike rate too.

    Those smaller fish are going to rip your shrimp apart add a small piece of fishbites to your hook. Try some shrimp scented procure on the plastic shrimp to add a littlescent to the action.

    Bro I went fishing in Key West when my parents and I visited there back in the late 90s and I caught SO many red snapper, HUGE Jack Cravelle, some smaller red grouper, a bunch of mutton and yellow snapper, and I got the attention of a charter boat captain and his mate. He offered me a job, and then he took me to the Hog's Breath Saloon and bought me a shot of 190 proof rum. I was like 15, and when I drank that shot I thought my chest and throat were on fire. We stayed at the hotel at 0 Duval Street. It was alot of fun.

  • @Brock_Landers
    @Brock_Landers Год назад

    I went on a charter boat in St Thomas once while I was on a cruise and I caught some pretty serious barracuda, a 7.5 lb blackfin tuna (which I was told was rare for the parts), and a 58.5" Mahi Mahi. Granted it was a $1200 trip, but it was on a personal charter on a 44' boat and they took care of everything for us.

    Next time cast out under the drive bridge at the pylons. Thats where the bigger fish are. They run back and forth between pylons. Also this spot is bad because of how shallow it is. U should be fishing if u can see the bottom that clear because of depth.
