Sandy Point is a great location for your size rig.
First thing - find a good chart of the area and study it. Lots of good spots will jump at at you ( humps , edges , etc ).
The bridge itself offers good fishing but beware - it can be dangerous. Currents often run fast here and large boat wakes can push you into pilings.
Some of the pilings of the north and south bridge are not in line. Boats often need to come close to your boat to avoid pilings of other bridge. No idea why it was built like this.
Right now - many are chumming / chunking along the 25 to 35 foot depth just south of bridge. They anchor after spotting fish near bottom.
Hacketts point often offers good bottom fishing. It is marked by green can. Anywhere to west of it is hard bottom but watch for crab pot floats in in 20 feet or less.
Just north of bridge is Sandy Point lighthouse. Just east about 150 feet - is sharp drop. This can be good area to try.
Going north - look at the 30 foot contour - it takes a turn to west about 1 mile above light. This is Podickery Point. Good area but be careful anchoring - old cables in this area.
Soon - small Spot will arrive and many anglers shift to live lining them. It's great fun and 99% of Rock hooked will be keepers.
