Summary
Best spots include the bridge pilings and nearby tidal creeks and inlets. Anglers commonly fish from the bridge itself or nearby shorelines—no boat needed. Peak seasons are spring through fall, with early morning and tidal changes being most productive. Live shrimp, mud minnows, and soft plastic lures work well. The area is a known local hot spot due to tidal flow and structure attracting predatory fish. Public parking and bridge access are available.

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.
