Thinking about taking Friday off and head out to 3 MB. Any suggestions on what would be a good time and what kind of bait to take just to catch some fish, not picky about what kind just want to reel some in.....

I normally fish there at night. Trout and Croakers are pretty good there right now. They are taking cut bait pretty steady. The reds normally hit between 12am and 3am, I been catching them on frozen cigars and northern mackeral. They will also hit on live pinfish or small trout as well.... Not sure what is biting during the day cause I dont make it out there during daylight..

3 Mile

Ok, thanks for the information. I am going to try and get there around 5:30 or 6:00 am and spend the day, and see what i can stir up. Figured I would pack a lunch and some cold adult beverages and enjoy the weather, looks like it is going to be nice on Friday ...

Three Mile Bridge

Good advice.

I only wish that the new fishing pier extended as far out as the old Three Mile Fishing Bridge. I really miss the 'regulars' as well as the people who ran the store. C2

hey doug it sounds like you are starting to eat well from 3mb

Yeap, starting to learn the ropes of it... trout are pretty much a given most nights. They keep me busy while waiting on the reds. I caught some pretty good size croakers the other night as well. Tossed them back but the next day I remember someone saying they are good eating.... so might start keeping them as well....

When you going to head back out there? Might try to find some new spots to fish sunday, any recommendations?

Only problem with bob sikes is that from what I hear you have to lug all your stuff across the road to the pier. I dont have a cart to haul stuff with so would be a pain trying to get the rods, tackle box, pier net and cooler all over there in one trip...

i love some croaker, i put them in same taste as lake perch, that is just me, on the west coast it is pretty well know for table fair. this one is 12 inches and thick from bayview park.

I would be scared to eat anything from Bayou Texar.:blink:

Why? They are the same fish that swing out to the bay..

Besides, once you cook them up you will kill any bacteria that might be there

You can park on the same side as the bridge if you come from the gulf breeze side (sure the folks at the Grand Marlin hate it but they've never said anything). Definitely worth chunkin some cut bait on the bottom off Sikes. Lotta good size reds being pulled outta there lately. Still a good walk but worth it.

We used to fish there around this time of year but never caught much. Only luck we ever had was throwing some cut bait close to the bridge from the sidewalk. There's some pieces of concrete out there in the water where we've caught some nice reds and baby sharks. That's about all I e tried there though.
