Sunshine doesn't help the Sunshine Skyway.
It's the #3 suicide site in the country.
I ran across this site last year when looking for fishing pier info,
and now there will always be a cloud there when we make our annual
trip, and spend hours fishing next to the skyway.
Just makes me want to get my boat even more, so I can fish elsewhere.
The site is disturbing, with some moving posts from friends and
families of the jumpers. It gets a lot of criticism because of its
dead pool nature, but I think it's possible that it saves some lives.

Used to catch a lot of trout wading in the inlet under that bridge. They
loved live shrimp.
