Manager's Message
Representative George Crady was a strong supporter of Florida State Parks and
fishing from his namesake fishing pier is the perfect place to land the big one!
The George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier State Park is a pedestrian-only fishing
bridge that spans the entire Nassau Sound and offers some of the best fishing
grounds in Florida! If you need bait, tackle, or snacks, be sure to check out
the Bait and Tackle shop at the north end of the bridge where they offer plenty
of stuff to keep you on the water longer.
- Robert Joseph, Park Manager
Welcome to George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier State Park
Located northeast of Jacksonville, this mile-long, pedestrian-only fishing
bridge spans Nassau Sound providing access to one of the best fishing areas in
Florida. Fishermen catch a variety of fish, including whiting, jacks, drum, and
tarpon. The fishing bridge is open twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year.
Primary access is on the north end through Amelia Island State Park. A small
parking lot at the north end of Big Talbot Island State Park allows access to
the southern end of the fishing bridge. The Nassau Sound Bait and Tackle shop
(904-277-9772), located on the north end of the fishing bridge, is open
year-round and offers live bait, snacks, and (more importantly!) some of the
best fishing advice in the area. The whole family (no pets) can enjoy a safe,
fun day of fishing or give the fish a rest and take a leisurely walk along the
beach of Amelia Island State Park. The George Crady Fishing Pier State Park is
located seven miles north of Little Talbot Island State Park on State Road A1A.
