I was wondering if anybody has fished either of these bridges lately?I haven't caught anything from either of them in months.Shouldn't the trout be around?If anybody does happen to catch anything,please let me know,as these are the only saltwater places I can get to.PEACE

I believe the red tide we had for months affected those areas severely.

Yeah,it did,but surely more fish should have swam in from the gulf by now,don't ya think?

I fished under both bridges for bait a week ago before heading out in the Gulf. I had not a nibble under Cinco so headed to Shalimar. We caught pinfish and pigfish for bait. Saw someone fishing from the bridge had a black drum about 10 pounds at the surface. Before I could go and help him he tried to lift it up and broke the line.

Thanks man,that was what I was hoping for! As long as there are pinfish,and pigfish,there are bigger fish.You say a big black drum,eh?I guess I know where I'll be going as soon as it gets a bit warmer.How big were the pigfish?If I catch em big enough,I fry em up.They are pretty good,when you can't catch anything else,hehe.Well,if you go again before I do,let me know how it goes,and thanks for the report,.PEACE

Any body know what people are catching at the Shalimar bridge?I drove by this morning,and there were a bunch of people fishing.Actually,here lately,every time I go over the Shalimar bridge,there are always a few people fishing.I want to go fishing,but I don't want it to be a waste of time.If anybody knows what's being caught there,please let me know,because I haven't fished it in quite some time.PEACE

Spanish have shown up at the Shalimar Bridge...

Br@nd

Thanks man,just what I wanted to hear.What types of baits can I use to catch them?PEACE

I know I PMd you, but I'll post this for the readers... Bubble Rigs & Gotcha Plugs always seem towork - I favor Bubble Rigs more though. :-) If you're fishing Shalimar Bridge for the first time, I suggest taking a cooler or something to stand on if you're kinda short. Otherwise, you can sit on the bridge rails or poke your body through the holes.. :-)
