Experience
The spot offers a range of fishing activities, such as bank fishing, fly fishing, and access to piers and docks. A variety of species, including Common snook and Red drum, are available. The area is equipped with boat ramps, which improve accessibility. Effective bait includes live and dead shrimp, supporting a 'put & take' fishing approach with opportunities to catch large fish. However, overfishing has led to selective behavior in fish like snook and reds, and pollution concerns have been noted, reducing fish presence near certain areas.

Tips

Live and dead shrimp are effective bait for the available species. Due to pollution potentially decreasing fish presence near the Hillsborough bridge, fishing further downstream might yield better results.
