........the cops in that area make it a point to check.

heard of cops arresting there.

I used to fish that lil bridge in winter a lot of macks

no bear cut homeboy you coul fish at el farito good luck there

you cant pull into bearcut with out a boat hitch to your car/truck. security will be on yours a$$. police is always there too.

Fishing Bear Cut will brand u a criminal and ull get hauled away, as well as ur cat towed... My best advice is DONT, but if u have a skiff... then it will be about as good fishing as u can find in florida... IF you know where to go and what to do... From land... never happening, last time I went I was saved from being arrested cuz I knew one of the cops, he told em to let us go, that we were just dumb kiddos.

Because only a cat would need to be towed, a dog would go willingly, wagging his tail and panting, Duh....

ooohhhhhh

really wish this bridge was still open. used to catch macks all the time there with my dad when i was younger. they should of just closed the rickenbacker hahah that place is garbage.

if they did that then bear cut would be just like rickenbacker. garbage

The only spot that is legal to fish from shore there is inside Virginia Key park, it is only open during the day. Turn at the sign that says "Sewage Treatment Plant" (very scenic, I know) and go into the park. They charge an entrance fee (unless you tell them you are going to Jimbo's) and then keep an eye on the right hand side. There are some areas to pull off and walk to the beach. Don't go to the lifeguarded beach, they won't let you fish, but instead go to the areas closer to the entrance. Better off during the week as it gets crowded on the weekend with people and boaters. Be careful wading, especially with any dead fish as there are strong currents and some very big sharks that hang out close to shore there.

Did you guys know that there in key Biscayne theirs a center where they raise Cobia and release them after a certain size. Just a little thought

show me proof, never heard of this ,

It's true. It's at the NOAA research center, across the street from the UM Marine Science school. They don't release them from shore at Key Biscayne though.

cooool!!! i love to know these thigs

They have something like this in the keys where you can swim wit them. they bave a shiit load of them, not sure if they release them back into the ocean tho.

Yep, the cobia farm. They are farm raising them for food there, not releasing them. Cool spot, the owners are really chill too.

heard they moved the cobia farm in the keys...

yes they moved it. someone posted it in fs a while back, they let people got and catch the cobia for them

lol@ the thought of them being "yea yea..w/e just grab as many as you can because we have a big order needing to be shipped tonight"

let me ask because i have a boat....is it worthwhile to fish there at night?.... ive seen people try for tarpon there while ive headed out but whats the 411 on the catching being made in or around the bridge?
