I’ve caught snook, redfish, juvenile tarpon, trout, big jacks, black drum, ladyfish, and mulhara. Area where it necks down right at the ICW is good. Mostly access by boat except small bridge on Overbrook Rd. Go slooow - idle speed manatee zone. They are everywhere.
Honestly, this is probably one of my favorite bodies of water nothing like tighten my lines while relaxing on the water was once a city slicker from east Baltimore but I’m loving the cape life! If you’re not from here I’ll give ya the warning no one gave me just don’t swim here please the river has teeth!
