Fishing from piers like old bridges and specially made piers in Florida increases the number of fish caught. Piers are convenient. Bait shops. Shade.
The Naples Pier was built in 1888 and was rebuilt 4 more times as fire and three hurricanes destroyed parts of it. The fishing at this pier is comparable to the Fort Myers Beach Fishing Pier just north of here. There are far fewer people and the sunsets are every bit as good! The pier […]

What’s not in town is this amazing fishing pier called the St. Johns County Ocean and Fishing Pier – a huge name. Let’s shorten it to St. Johns Fishing Pier for this Pier Guide! The […]
Just south of Sarasota Florida is the beachside city of Venice with a large fishing pier called “Venice Fishing Pier.” Though their fishing pier was destroyed in a storm that tossed huge waves over it and wrecked the pier, they rebuilt it better than ever. This is a key tourist draw for the area as […]
