White Street is about your only option down there. The jettties at the fort are another good spot. The wind may hamper your fishing this weekend though. Try fishing under Cow Key bridge with some cut pinfish as there are some monster snapper under there. Just keep you wits about you under there as there are some residentially challenged people there at times.
Dreaming the dream that one day I can be as good as some of the boatless pros and catch some 12 inch mangrove snapper.

soooo i made it to white st. pier but was way too hungover to fish but I took a couple cool pics, the first one had a little 2-3 ft nurse shark, other is just a pic of the pier. There were a couple dudes getting ready to spearfish and lobster from the pier but I didnt hang around long enough to watch. I did see a couple permit come up to the pier for a few seconds and took off almost as quickly. Tons of ballyhoo and some mullet were around.. All in all it was cool to hang there for a little even though I wasnt fishing,but thanks for the spot nonetheless.
