Best fishing spots in West Samoset
From West Samoset, Green Bridge Fishing Pier is under 3 miles away and the natural first stop. Snook and redfish are the main draws, with sheepshead and spotted seatrout also caught there.
Palma Sola Causeway, about 6.5 miles off, is a flats spot for trout, snook, redfish and ladyfish, and Emerson Point Preserve, around 7 miles away, is an estuary where black drum turn up alongside the snook and redfish. Longboat Pass at the Coquina Beach Jetty, roughly 8.5 miles away, is the choice for Spanish mackerel and mangrove snapper, which makes it a good contrast to the inshore spots.
