Vilano Bridge (Francis & Mary Usina)
inshore · Jacksonville & beyond
High-rise A1A span over the Tolomato River just north of downtown St Augustine. Sheepshead and black drum hold to the pilings; the deep channel underneath holds redfish and larger trout, especially on outgoing tide. Limited shore access — best fished from boat or kayak.
