Summary
Best spots include nearby mangrove-lined inlets and deeper cuts near the causeway; access is easiest via small boat or kayak, with limited shore access. A public boat ramp is available at nearby Round Island Park. Anglers target snook, redfish, sea trout, and tarpon, especially in warmer months (spring-summer). Fall brings steady trout action. Top baits include live shrimp, soft plastics, and topwater lures at dawn or dusk. Snook prefer structure; fish near docks and mangroves. Check tides—moving water improves bites. Always follow local regulations for slot limits and seasons.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
