re: Help with fishing in St Andrews Bay

Agree with Joe I have had some nice trips catching Mackeral near the jetty. You can also walk the beach toward the bay along that same pass, they have some areas down the beach just a bit where the drop off is very close to the shoreline and the fishing is good there as well. The walk will also allow you to get away from the crowds since a lot of people fish from the rocks.

Definitely use a leader or you will lose a lot of tackle. I went with a 60 pound flouro leader and it did the trick.

Bubble rigs were my bait of choice and you can cast them a mile if you fill the float about a 1/3 of the way up with water. (they sell them at most of the bait shops in town and they may also carry them at the shop inside the park)
