has anyone ever fished this bridge for shark on an out going tide or off the beach in long boat pass?????
I used to fish tarpon out there on the boat. Thats where I saw the biggest hammer Ive ever seen eat a tarpon off of my line. Tarpon fishing we used to get bit off all the time.
LOOKs like a spot where I would have a BIG BAIT!! Bring a pillow , your alarm will be your reel zzzzzz. HAVE PATIANCE!!! hope U get a MONSTER!!!

Other then Boca Grande and Ft De Soto this bridge holds some of the biggest sharks(Hammers,Bulls)on the west coast just ask Aaron Bunch(941sharker) who fought a big boy out there for over an hour on his 14/0 and got cut off in the end with 1/2 a spool of line still out.Big bulls some over 9 foot frequent there and the occasional monster hammer eating tarpon happens also.Best time of the year for huge sharks there is late summer,early fall.

Any pass to the Gulf can hold monster shark. Out going tide carries the sent out to the Gulf, This beats beach fishing any day. The main reson is the current. Beach fishimg has a north to south our south to north. This dose not beat out going. 
I had 480 cut through on a mackerel head there on outgoing tide.....
Bring some weight the current rips through there. Kayaking can be tough because of that at times. But it is a really good spot.
i just freeline live baits always have good luck doing that

Makes me wanna hit Desoto! I havent heard of a really nice fish outta there in a little while. I think its OVERDUE for a monster! Wish I hadnt hurt my back!!! I cant even lift my 14/0 right now though.
