Fishing the Current

Fish current edges rather than dropping straight into the fastest water. Present shrimp, live bait or cut bait so it sweeps naturally toward structure. The period before and after a tide change can make positioning easier.

Fish to Target

Snapper, jacks, barracuda, sharks and other inshore species may move through Lower Keys channels. Let visible bait activity and water conditions tell you whether to fish near bottom or higher in the water column.

Simple Bridge Setup

Medium spinning outfit for general bridge fishing
Live shrimp or small baitfish
Knocker or sliding-sinker rig
Enough sinker weight to control the bait in current
Abrasion-resistant leader around bridge structure
