The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is making it easier to find fishing piers around the state.
The FWC has just released the Florida Fishing Pier Finder, an interactive map that allows fishermen to find publicly-accessed fishing piers, jetties and fishing-specific bridges in freshwater and saltwater locations throughout the state.
A majority of these structures are free to use.
For those fishing piers where a fee is required, almost all have a pier license that covers anglers, resident and non-resident, that fish on the pier.
Just go to www.MyFWC.com/PierFinder to search for a location by county, city, feature name and type of feature (such as a bridge or pier).
It is best viewed using a computer or tablet with a larger screen.
The Florida Fishing Pier Finder was created through funding from the federal Sport Fish Restoration program, which collects taxes from purchases of fishing equipment and motorboat fuel to fund projects that provide enhanced fishing opportunities.
