Deep Sea Fishing from a Camper or Car on The World’s Longest Fishing Pier
Welcome to Skyway Fishing Pier State Park
When the new Sunshine Skyway Bridge was built over Tampa Bay, connecting St. Petersburg with Sarasota, the old bridge was turned into the world’s longest fishing pier.
Anglers love being able to park their cars or campers within a few feet of their favorite fishing spot.
The bridge is lighted at night, so anglers can see to rig a line, bait the hook, and get a good look at their catch.
The light also attracts many species of fish after sundown.
Common catches include snook, tarpon, grouper, black sea bass, Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, cobia, sheepshead, red snapper, pompano and many more. Snacks, drinks, bait and fishing supplies are available for purchase.
THE SKYWAY BRIDGE CONNECTS TAMPA BAY / ST PETERSBURG TO TERA CELA, FL
Welcome to Terra Ceia Preserve State Park
This park’s 2,000 acres encompass mangrove forests, freshwater and saltwater wetlands, and uplands communities.
Much of the preserve is in various stages of habitat restoration that is intended to return agricultural land to its natural and ecologically diverse condition. Park trails are open to foot traffic only and accessible from park gates.
Currently, kayaking, fishing and hiking are the primary activities within the preserve.
