Made a quick trip to fish under the bridge and old trestle at El Jobean. Weak outgoing tide. Area loaded with small tarpon. Myself and three other boats couldn't get a strike. After 90 minutes the heat got me. I live close and will give it a try next week. May try a night trip.

Fish at night, fish the white lights with live free lined bait. Don't go light on your tackle, there's some big girls that hang out in that area.

Back under the bridge at first light. Strong out going. Broke off twice on a jerk bait. Took me around the bridge pilings. Thought big jacks. Finally got one in - big bluefish. I can't remember catching a blue in the harbor. Two guide parties sharing the area. Saw one get one of the small tarpon. Nobody doing consistent. Guides chumming with white bait. Nice under the bridge in the shade. Gave it until 10.

How it looks under the El Joe bridge with a strong outgoing. I see the old upside down view is back. Click while logged in it should correct. Two other boats in picture. One definitely a guide. They got one of the baby tarpon. Might have gone 15#. If you enlarge the pic and look close you will see two tailing tarpon. First boat was working them.

My El Joe set up for a strong outgoing. Simply nose in to the old trestle and clip to some rebar. The tide does the rest. Pretty ezpz. Again log in and click the pic will correct.

Looks like it would be a great Sheepshead fishing area !

Area best known for snook. Horsing one out from the old trestle a challenge. We've been flattening the barbs down on our hooks so the fish can shake the lure if it breaks off.

A part of the old trestle in the picture allows walk in fishing. Always has a few people on it. Just read a notice that it is temporarily closed due to aggressive bees. That's a new one. Not sure how anxious I'm going to be to fish the other section.
