Thanks! I can't wait to get back down to Gulf Shores, made the mistake of doing Florida last year instead. My kids keep asking when we are going back. Looking forward to fishing GSP as well. Went fishing East this summer in Charleston and their pier was crap compared to GSP.

Nim, I'm sure many will argue but many piers are crap compared to GSP. Of course the fishermen there make up 99.9% of the pier's reputation. IMO

That's why this will be my third time down in 4 years, and next summer already have a week booked down there. It is a great area and the pier is amazing.

I think the four seasons pier is two feet higher above the water. It makes. Big difference. I talked with my sister yesterday afternoon late. She was out on the pier and several of the regulars were fishing but doing very poorly. I arrive next week and hope fishing is better by then.

Plus being shorter, it is in shallower water and the big storm waves have broken before they get to it. Originally Posted by oldfisherman

If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

All the buildings are OK, haven't had time to check out the kayak landing or pier. Originally Posted by Pier#r

By the look of all the debris stacked up and the flattened phragmites, surge was pretty bad here!eym_sirius likes this.Carl

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
