Overview:
The Causeway Islands provide easily accessible fishing from shore, bridges, or boat. Anglers can target species in both shallow grass flats and deeper channels adjacent to bridge pilings.

Target Species:

• Snook
  
• Redfish
  
• Mangrove Snapper
  
• Pompano
  
• Seatrout
  
• Flounder
  
• Jack Crevalle
  
• Sharks (Blacktip, Bonnethead)
  

Seasonal Highlights:

• Spring and summer offer strong Snook and Pompano action.
  
• Fall brings increased Redfish activity.
  
• Winter months are ideal for Flounder, Snapper, and Sheepshead around the bridge.
  

Tactics:

• Fish bridge structure and island drop-offs during tidal flow.
  
• Drift shrimp under a float across grass flats for Seatrout.
  
• Target deeper pockets near the bridge for sharks using cut bait.
  

Effective Baits and Lures:

• Live: Shrimp, Pinfish, greenbacks
  
• Cut: Mullet, squid, Ladyfish
  
• Artificial: Spoons, soft plastics, popping cork rigs
  

Additional Tips:
Pelican activity often signals baitfish presence. Sharks are commonly caught near dusk and in early morning hours near deeper channels.
