When you take a trip to one of Southern Resorts Pensacola Beach Vacation Rentals, be sure to explore some of the great fishing options in the area. Whether you’re going to deep sea fish or if you’d like to find a nice pier, Pensacola Beach is a great place for fishing.
The “Three Mile Bridge” has connected Downtown Pensacola and Gulf Breeze over Pensacola Bay since 1960. It’s predecessor was a narrow two lane bridge that became two 1.5 mile fishing piers once it was replaced. In 2004, Hurricane Ivan damaged much of the old piers and by 2007 even more storms had demolished them.
But, today is a new day and following much hard work, the Pensacola Bay Fishing Bridge re-opened recently. To celebrate the grand opening, the county is waiving all fees for locals and vacationers through the month of February. Whether you’re more comfortable walking or driving to your spot on the pier, it is open 24 hours per day for fantastic saltwater fishing.
Redfish may still be available along with sheepshead and trout. If you like to work with cast nets, try to catch some mullet. The weather is nice and cool this time of year with temperatures in the mid 60’s. You probably won’t even break a sweat as you enjoy the breeze sweeping off of the gorgeous water.
