Best fishing spots in Upper Grand Lagoon

From Upper Grand Lagoon, two good spots are within about 5 miles. M.B. Miller County Pier, just under 5 miles away, is the place to try for king and Spanish mackerel, with cobia and redfish also on the list. It suits anglers who like a pier session.

St. Andrews State Park Jetty is slightly closer, at about 4 miles, and fishes differently: sheepshead and redfish around the jetty, southern flounder on the bottom and Spanish mackerel passing by. Russell-Fields City Pier, roughly 8 miles off, is a dependable backup for mackerel and cobia when you want a change of scene.
