I use to go down to the old fishing bridge on the Pensacola side of the bay, the one where you paid to fish and didn't need a license.  I know it was damaged during the storm and closed?.  I read some where that they were going to build a new bridge going from P'cola to Gulf Breeze and turn the old one into a fishing bridge but can't seem to find anything on it right now.  Is that still in the works?  Also is there anywhere to bay fish for a fee that you do not have to purchase a licenses?  Thanks.

There is no place currently to fish in the bay without a liscense if you are not a florida resident.

konz is right the only place around here an out of state resident can fish without a license is the beach pier.

Yes ,but that might not happen for 10 years or never.

What about the south end of Palafox Drive where you can fish off the seawall?

I drove by the place where they're putting in the new fishing pier by the Bay Bridge, and they were steady working. Does anybody know when that's gonna be finished?

When are you planning on coming down and how long of a stay?

He would need a non-resident fishing license there.

You could always get a three day lisence and just fish the Bob Sikes Bridge.

I life without fishing is one not worth living

Was mostly asking for a co-worker that use to go down there and fish also.  I am not sure how well he knows area to find the places that require a trip license to fish.  I decided after my last trip down (to the Long Bridge area) that it was not worth the expense of driving down cause either I went at a bad time (fish not biting) or just didn't know where to fish cause I usually came back with a few of those grumping fish.  I might go again in the future.  Thanks to all that responded.
