    Navarre pier height

    How high is the deck of Navarre pier from the water ? Was wondering if my rope was long enough on my gaff .

    I was wondering that Navarre Pier was built after Gulf State Park Pier and they added a few feet to make it longer than GSPP. What is the water depth on the end of Navarre?

    Mine is kinda short, but when I lean over the pier it's plenty long enough to work there...seems like around 33' plus the length of the gaff. As long as the gaff goes under water and you keep it sharp it will do the trick. All the Florida piers are higher. PS: your light tackle won't work well there because the fish have more leverage to use against you. Same size fish "pull" harder. Some might scoff at that...maybe I'm just getting old and weak.

    I would hate holding on to the end of the rope with no ....opps and down it goes

    Tide will add or subtract a little in height

    His gaff is 19in. In height, that adds a little to the rope length

    I might re spool with 20 lbs super slick, vr 125 holds 400 yrds of that
