Sunshine Skyway Fishing Pier rubble piles
Most people who live in or around the Tampa area know that rubble from
the center section of the old bridge was placed around the ends of that bridge which still remain (and serve as fishing piers.) The question I have is - was there any rhyme or reason as to how the rubble piles were arranged ?? I am sure there must have been ....... But, are they on one particular side or area of the fishing piers ?? Or were they placed in various areas around both sides of both piers ? Parallel ?? or perpendicular to the piers ?? Are they within easy casting distance ?? Are they visible at all, maybe during low tide - or at certain times of the day ??? I've only been to the area twice - both times as a tourist, not as a fisherman ... but I do want to fish the area, relatively soon. I was also curious if anyone has thoughts as to which pier, the north or south pier - is more productive ..... thanks GR - Tampa Bay |

Sunshine Skyway Fishing Pier rubble piles
The old skyway bridge was taken offshoar and turned into the 7 mile reef
found on any fishing chart. its laid out into several clusters in an approximately 1/4 mile dia.. as far as rubble around old skwy ive never seen any (ive dove the bridge several times for crabs) ive trolled between the old spans where the old pilings were and have been quite productive with grouper in the fall and spring. as far as which side is better.. i dont know there is a cluster of rubble at the tip of the south pier to the west that hold snapper at night but you would have to have one hell of a long cast to reach it..if you do fish the bridge stick close to the pilings.. there is nothing but sand in the middle of spans... Godd luck and tight lines............Jason "Minotaur" wrote in message om...
