    There’s nothing worst than being on the Gulf Coast and wanting to go fishing, but the sea is too rough, the rain’s pouring-down, or bad weather is being predicted. However, with the information in this book, you’ll also learn about places you can fish in protected waters – no matter the weather. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to fish the Upper Gulf Coast at any time of the year.

    Chapter 14 is about the "Fantastic Fishing on the Gulf State Park Pier"

    Going fishing is fun, but catching fish is the most fun. Although the tips and tactics in this fishing guide come from charter captains and guides on the Alabama Gulf Coast, the strategies you’ll learn here can be used anywhere along the upper Gulf Coast to catch fish. This book includes the knowledge from captains and guides who are on the water almost every day throughout the year. Collectively, these men and women have faced and dealt with every type of fishing condition you ever may face fishing for inshore and near-shore species like speckled trout, redfish, flounder, pompano, sheepshead and more.

    You already may consider yourself an inshore fishing specialist. However, if you pick up some productive techniques from each of these captains, you drastically can increase your odds for success. If you’re a beginner, you can learn how to fish -- where to fish, what fishing tackle you need, what baits to use and what time of year different species of saltwater fish are most-abundant.

    Don’t want to get in a boat? No problem. This book contains proven tactics for catching a wide variety of fish from the bank, the surf, the jetties and the pier, from places like Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Fort Morgan and more. Do you have young children or grandchildren who never have been fishing? These captains will teach the children how to fish and will help them to learn to be your fishing buddies.

    There’s nothing worst than being on the Gulf Coast and wanting to go fishing, but the sea is too rough, the rain’s pouring-down, or bad weather is being predicted. However, with the information in this book, you’ll also learn about places you can fish in protected waters – no matter the weather. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to fish the Upper Gulf Coast at any time of the year.

    For what it's worth, if you enjoy reading, the Kindle app gives you a virtual library n your smart phone or tablet that cures those especially slow times when the fish ain't bitin'.

    Downloaded and read the book. Once you filter out all the sales pitches for various charters there is a lot of good information on rigs, bait and locations to fish in the area. The youtube videos which are linked provide some good info also. I give it a thumbs up for anyone not familier with the Alabama Gulf Coast and saltwater fishing. One question, we're is the old Quarantine Pier at Ft Morgan? I know it's no longer there, but was wondering where it was located at the fort.

    I believe Its where those old concrete pilings were to the West of the fort, the walkway by the bathrooms. There also was a pier south of the fort that went out, which was wooden, cause you used to be able to see the old pilings, which I haven't seen in a while. The pilings would stick out occasionally. It was never marked as a marine obstacle, with a bouy or anything, very dangerous, cause they were far enough out that a boat could hit them. I think one did but I can't find the article about it to post it for you. I could be wrong about the quarantine pier. Maybe the one to the south is the one that they are talking about. I know that was always a place we tried to catch fish at, and were successful with.
