Seems like fishing in Anna Maria is even more popular than we thought. According to a survey conducted by Research Data Services Inc for the Bradenton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau between March and August 38.9 per cent of visitors said the Anna Maria City Pier was their second favored attraction to visit, following St Armands Circle, which had a 58.9 per cent.
The Rod & Reel Pier came in as the third most favored attraction to visit, with 38.7 per cent of those surveyed saying they enjoyed the private pier in Tampa Bay just north of the Anna Maria City Pier. Maybe those fishing tales are starting to work.
Not that any of this comes as any surprise to any of us who get down to the island's piers as often as we can. Us honorary pier rats are happy to welcome any new members, so if you haven't been down for a day's fishing on Anna Maria Island just wander along and have a go. There is certain to be someone there willing to lend a hand if you're a newcomer. But don't expect too much help if you catch the biggest fish...
Tight lines!
