What You Can Catch

Expect bridge-fishing staples such as mangrove snapper, mutton snapper, tarpon, barracuda, jacks and sharks, with seasonal opportunities for other species moving through the channel.

How to Fish Spanish Harbor

Fish the current seams, pilings and down-current eddies. Live shrimp, pilchards, pinfish and cut bait are dependable choices. A knocker rig or sliding sinker rig works well for snapper, while free-lined live bait is effective when fish are feeding higher in the water column.

Tide & Tackle Tips

Moving water is usually the key. Use enough weight to maintain contact without overpowering the presentation, and step up leader strength around bridge structure. Check current FWC regulations and posted bridge rules before fishing.
