The New 3 Mile Bridge Fishing Pier

blues · Feb 7, 2010

So Pensacola Fishing Forum Member, What do you think will be a fair price to charge to get on the pier come March 1, 2010???????????

Personally I know there will be maintenance and up keep, But I think it need more portable toilets and keep them cleaned several times a week. So I'm saying $5.00 per vehicle and $1.00 per aldult and kids under 16 free.:usaflag

I think Seniors should get a discount and Military free.

TexasFisherman · Feb 7, 2010

$5 sounds reasonable. And military discount would be nice. And $5 would beat Pensacola fishing pier by a few bucks

I like the $2.00 - $2.50 that they are considering now. I usually go by myself, and damn if I want to pay $5 everytime I go.

I think five dollars is the minimum charge for anything fishing related in this town. Hell, you can't even launch your boat for free anymore.

salt_water_guy · Feb 7, 2010

I think 5 for a car and 1 per person and 16 and under free and disability discount,and senior citizens discount...It should not be much at all its fema money that bult it!! lol:usaflag

5 per vehicle, 1 per adult, free for over under, & definently free for military.

Nothing less than that. Gotta pay to play.

Fishing bridge fees to be set in March

Posted 2/19/2010 5:40 PM EST on pnj.com by Jamie Page

Fees are expected to be set in mid-March for the new Pensacola Bay Fishing Bridge.

Until then, use of the $11 million fishing bridge is free.

A list of fees was proposed to Escambia County commissioners Thursday. But it was determined that the fees needed to be increased slightly to pay for the estimated $10,000 to $15,000 cost of fixing the damaged concession building at Wayside Park, owned by the City of Pensacola.

The fees initially proposed were:

- Per fisher: $2 daily, $70 annual.

- Per vehicle, $1 daily, $35 annual.

I think it should be $10 for the car and $10 for each person plus $5 for each rod you bring. If it still fills up keep raising the price until there is always a place to park.

I must agree with Brandon, that would be way to high of a price to pay. Especially when the fishing on that bridge sucks for the most part
