Launch located at the end of the road for the North Skyway rest area. The island is about a 2 mile paddle to the northwest. A major boat channel crossing is required, so use extreme caution as this is an extremely bust channel. On either side of the channel, its very shallow, with a No Motor Zone around the key. Great fishing, can be very crowded on the weekends as this is a major destination for the guides in the bay area..

- 15-20# braid with 20-30# flouro. Sand Fleas (sand crabs) up against pilings. Hold on for your life when the sheephead grabs it.

- Very uncool. Happens to me quite a bit. They see me hooked up and move into my spot and cast over my line.
