My wife and I were down there to see all the damage. The bridge is open but carry everything with you because there is nothing left. We spent at least one week a year in beach house in the Gilchrist area and will now have to find another place.

Thank for the update.
Surf fishing is good for sharks and bull red in spring. Summer time the trout fishing gets better. The pass is a good place to fish but it all about timming the tride right.

Better fish it while you can, Commish Jerry Patterson wants to close Rollover due to cost of maintaining it at proper level. The Pass has been blamed for the erosion of the beaches in that area.


The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.

The figure I saw was it cost $ 900,000.00 per year to keep the pass flowing. Sounds like the State wants its closed before anybody can rebuild, which would make it harder to justify closing it.
