Pier & Bridge Fishing



Bailey Bridge


The D. J. Bailey Bridge was built in 1946 to replace the old wooden bridge.  The bridge was replaced in 1999 with a 4 lane bridge, but the old bridge still stands next to the new bridge and is used as a walking area and fishing bridge.



M.B. Miller County Pier


M.B. Miller County Pier is just shy of 1,500 feet.  The pier is popular for fishing and just hanging out.  Anglers catch a variety of fish off the pier year-round and the pier is open 24 hours, which is awesome for the anglers who enjoy fishing at night.



Russell-Fields City Pier


The Russell-Fields City Pier is located directly across from the main entrance to Pier Park.  This is a very popular area as these are plenty of shops and restaurants just across the street from the pier.  The pier extends more than 1,500 and it gives anglers excellent fishing opportunities for a variety of fish species.  The pier is very popular for its breathtaking views with its white, sandy beaches, beautiful sunrises and sunsets to go along with a variety of marine life.
