I’ve fished a lot of the bridges in the area, never have I been asked to leave. I’ve always made sure I was not in any traffic area. Seen many a DNR boat ride by with other things on their minds.

We’ve been run off from fishing the Ben Sawyer Bridge, wasn’t even tied to the fenders.

Who ran you off? What was his reason for you to leave?

Bridge tender called coast guard, if I remember correctly

So the bridge tender at Ben Sawyer… I don’t know who he is but there is definitely one that is hell bent on giving Charleston mariners a rough time. I’ve heard him be completely rude to many a boat that ask for the height clearance on the VHS… sometimes not responding at all. Guess being up there all day wears a man down.

there is a no stop zone from the 526 bridge upriver to bushy park on the river, I have never gotten grief from anyone on any bridge around here. Stay out of the channel and don’t impede traffic and you wont have a problem :slight_smile:
