Seven Mile Bridge. Florida Keys.

Anyone ever fished it? Is it as good as it seems to be? Do you think a person might meet Dalton?

 

[Bear44]

Bump

Are you talking about fishing from the bridge or fishing around the bridge in a boat?

From a boat. Not a yak. 20ft cc.

I try to go down about once a year. Weather and tides matter. Fresh cut bait works well but I like live bait best. Live shrimp catches everything down there. Try some of the smaller bridges further north of 7mile too.

In a center console it's about as good as any of the other keys if you can read the Weather, Wind and Tides.

This time of year in that boat, I would probably skip trying to find the hot cut along that 7 mile stretch dial in around or at the Bahia Honda bridge day or night. The migratory tarpon should be starting to get thick there right about now.

Catch it on a worm hatch evening and you will be in for a heck of a treat.

Have you run a boat in the Keys before?

Nope.

Nope.

Proceed with caution...get a good chart, and double check it..and then don't truly believe it...and double check again...lol. It can be some really tricky water to navigate.

I've driven across it a couple times...never fished it.
