Best Rod Bend
do you guys ever have issues with line rubbing on the underside of the bridge? why not fish the other side on a different current or tide?
It can be a problem... fishing in the keys isn't for the faint of heart; you have to be on your toes at all times! The challenge of fishing the keys bridges is tenfold that of any beach. Between laws, safety hazards, obstacles, and the intensity of some of the fish that swim through those pilings every now and then, there's nothing that truly compares. Those few that have prevailed over the years are some of the best around. There is no beginners luck in the keys... the place is merciless and every catch is well earned out of experience, big or small.
The temptation of the keys' raw beauty alone is enough to bring me back time and time again. Many monsters lost and few landed, with more and more experience I hope to change those ratios. The keys is a challenging platform that I accept with my head high and rod bent low, very low... under the bridge at times on big fish.
Just an average fisherman.

Totally agree Mark. Their is multiple challenges in the keys, but the prize at the end is well worth it, the sunsets and sunrises, and the amount of fish that are there makes the challenge worth it. In that photo of me I was fighting a 6' lemon between the bridges, and Marks right you have to be on your toes. You have to make sure you keep that fish between the pilings so he doesn't wrap you and you have to make sure you down let him get to far, that's why I'll take heavier line on my reels compared to a lighter line. For me it's strength over distance any day.
