You can stretch out and relax, and this is some of the best flounder fishing out here. Adam and Donna Shuler of Tallahassee were fishing from the causeway of the bridge on a recent afternoon. It's relaxing to be able to bring a chair with you and fish. Shuler said he wouldn't have any objection to a small fee for a fishing pier, especially if it included rental gear to visitors and kids who may not have their own. He said there's no question about the spot's popularity.
Whole families come out.
There were people with cast nets here before, catching whiting and trout. But as nice as the fishing is, Shuler thinks the idea of keeping the whole structure and causeway may be overkill, considering maintenance costs. And he noted the effect a hurricane could have on the causeway.
