we were just there and hooked and lost two monster southerns use 80 lb test or more because they go straight for under the bridge. go to 7 mile and when the water gets shallow and u see the grass flats youll eventually see a ray swimming snagg his ass and hold on, also long key has a ton but the water is much deeper and the eagle rays are thick like 100 to 300 lbs i wouldnt recommend hooking one of those. also work a tubelure because the cudas are everywhere.

Take a spin or casting rod you'd use to fish shrimp or pin fish; & throw it out with shrimp on it they'll find it
