Matlacha Pass Bridge — Attraction in Florida

One of my favorite fishing places depending on what time of the year you can catch almost anything there a different species at different months throughout the year the sharks even make their way there in the summer. I've gotten really nice sized snook, snapper - [multiple types], toad fish, rock fish, mackerel, lady fish, sheepshead, reds, and everybody's worst enemy sale cats there but I've seen much more than that swimming around in the water below the bridge. I've always fished it at night but I want to try to fish it during the day I'm sure it's a lot different.
