Best Bet for Anglers
ACCESS ALERT: The physical structure is closed to walkers. HOWEVER, boaters are finding massive Snook and Redfish around the bridge pilings and flats which have seen zero fishing pressure.
Local Pro Tip
ACCESS DENIED. Head to Bird Key Park (1 mile) for shore access. Boats can still fish the bridge pilings vertically, but shore proximity is restricted.
Structure closed? Fish by boat.
Beat the closures. Let Capt. Matt Fueyo use their vessel and local licensing to get you right up to the Eloise Werlin Park structure where the fish are hiding.
