About Wiggins Pass
Wiggins Pass drains a mangrove-lined backwater system. In the fall its local mullet leave on the ebb, and schools moving down the beaches pass the state park shoreline.
Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park gives walkable access to the pass on the south side.
Why fish here during the run
- Compact pass that is easy to read.
- Mangrove backwaters hold mullet until the water cools.
- Snook are a staple along the pass in the fall.
