Which bridge near Cudjoe Key is best for shark fishing ?

March and April means lots of big bulls and big hammers on the bridges as the tarpon start showing up in thick numbers.The very best would be Bahia Honda(not easy to fish but holds more Big Sharks) but you have to fish from the key west side oceanside with the outgoing tide .The bridge was cut in 1984 to keep people from sneaking out to fish on it so you have to fish from the end where it was cut.To get your bait out cast a smaller reel with a small chunk or swing out a a big bait attached w a baloon or water bottle and 30 lb test so it does not break on impact. Follow it around and down the wall as it will swing around to the right,,,,,give it alot of line as it goes out and away from the bridge.Closer to Cudjoe try Old wooden bridge (no Name key)either tide or try Nilles Channel( outgoing tide)or further north try seven mile bridge (key west side) either tide .Hope that helps .Good luck
