Wanted to head down to CH 2 today and still might, but my day gotten a few hours behind. Any closer areas in the keys that are practical to fish without driving two hours?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Channel 2 is the first bridge that is open to fishing. You can fish from the shore beneath some of the other bridges before you get to Channel 2. Just make sure there are no signs that say "No Fishing" or "No Trespassing". I usually see people fishing at Whale Harbor, Tea Table and Indian Key bridges.

Go to card sound road if you wish. A few areas & bridges you can fish from. One of the few 18-21 inch snappers we caught were under some of the bridges

Bring lots of bug spray.

Is it that time of year already.....You out there already?

T-minus 30 minutes.

Cool beans...5-6 hrs more for us little people

Also, castout a pinfish near the groves- you can always get hit with a Poon or Cuda..

Seriously watch out for Crocs this is not a joke, largest I have seen on card sound was solid 14 footer and Crocs don't play

I was wadeing in the groves off card sound a few years back hooked a nice snook and was chased out the water by a croc. needless to say i didnt land the fish
