The owner is up to something... put lots of money into repairing it huh? ... well no idea what they are up to.

They definitely need to do something with the Redington Pier.
And Yes it is a Great Landmark to Pinellas County for Fishing.
Many Varieties of Fish have been caught off that Pier.

I signed the petition. Think they are trying to get a buyer who will fix and run the pier. The town and villages seem more interested in
replacing it with condos (just what we are lacking on the beach, right?). It's a long shot to save but signing cannot hurt.

Mackerelman is right. That fishing pier was really good. I sure hope a solution can be found and that we can end up with a good pier with decent ownership.


PS: Later comment. I would pay up to $15 to fish there with a 24 hour pass if that would include parking. It is much closer to my place than the Skyway and the savings on gas would make it an even expense vs the Skyway Piers.

We do NOT need any more condos. I like the tourists here but we have so many condos. Adding more will only create more traffic issues,issues with putting more strain on the sewer systems etc.

However the owner got a bunch of money from last storm and they are not using it to fix the pier and are trying to sell the pier for another profit...

Seems just too shady for me.
