Scuttlebutt: We anglers keep losing access

 | By Seamus on 8/3/2025 2:14:00 PM | Views (1)

Our Jacksonville TV station WJXT4 ran a story this week about the George Crady Bridge being closed on the Duval side. Evidently Duval County pays good money to subsidize the fishing bridge. It's been closed for years with no plan is sight to open it back up.  CLICK HERE for the TV story




You've probably seen my rants about boater parking getting squeezed down at the City of Fernandina Beach Marina with the new Waterfront Park that is being built. We've gone from a whole parking lot for boat trailers (plus an overflow) to just 12 parking spaces. Getting to and from the ramp is a nightmare. Buses and Tours regularly park in the "trailer parking" spots. CLICK HERE for that rant. 

The State did finally patch up Sawpit Creek boat ramp, although a new pothole is forming. The south dock has been damaged and unusable for about 10 years now. On a low tide it is essentially a "one boat" dock - they need to expand the floating docks. And why are there not any cleaning stations at any of our public boat ramps? Are there plans to repair and improve this boat ramp or will they just let it deteriorate and become unusable? CLICK HERE  for my suggestions.



Our area USED TO HAVE a fishing pier up at Fort Clinch. It was damaged during hurricane Mathew in October 2016, and completely torn down in 2017 -another lost resource that gave anglers access to the water. Back then it was stated, "replacement will have to be put in the 10 year plan".  We're getting close to that now....


With all that, you have to question, "do our local and State leaders have it out for we anglers and boaters"?  I've noticed we anglers tend to be laid back, non-confrontational, low-key folks. Unfortunately, that approach is allowing our access to fishing resources diminish. We need to stand up and demand that local and State officials give us access to OUR waters.
