DUCK KEY

Post by spin4reel »

Heading out to Duck key next weekend. Anyone know which of the 2 bridges near Duck Key is better to fish from?? I know one of them is Tom Harbor (MM62), I use to fish there afew years ago. But there is another bridge after that one and I was wondering which one would be the best one.

The lower one has had construction workers on it for a few months. They are up and down the whole bridge and sometimes there are 2 crews. So when the tide is coming in you may have an issue.
I have used both places and sometimes what I think is the good one becomes the bad one . So

No, something on the bridge supports. boats, clanging, drilling, divers down , muddy water, killing time.

Yep I did the same thing a few years ago, left Channel 2 at 6 PM and didn't get back to Miami until about 1 AM. Never again.

I promised my daughter I would take her to key west next weekend, because my wife was told that she has to work on Memorial weekend. So I figured, I can drop by a bridge before reaching key west, and give it a shot and see what happens.
