You can not fish off the bridge, no. BUT nothing stopping you from walking up and dropping your line into a good spot then walking back down haha. I have fished the northern side when the southern side was packed and it is a great place to lose a lot of gear. lots of sharp rocks covered in sharp oysters?

Southern side you fish off the left (grassy area) or you can walk allmg the right where the moored boats are there is some clean flat sand there.

Havent personally caught anything at the spit but I have seen big bream pulled from under the pylons, flathead from the grassy area far left and heard of trevs, kings, salmon etc

Hope this helps

Its generally a bad location to fish. The currents are brutal, its under construction atm so spots are limited and on most nights its full of people with lines everywhere. Most of the good catches are done from boat. Its near impossible to use sps there since the current is too strong you never get down deep enough. You can try fish to the right of the marina off the ledge. Seen some stonker bream there but they dont take lures and the old man at the marina is a grumpy sob. He told me to move off I apologise and move then he threatens me. Silly man.
