The issue of fish carcass disposal, and even a possible grinder solution were brought to the attention of the Conservation Advisory Board by several concerned pier fishermen in Feb 2012.
(see pages 37 through 60)... https://www.outdooralabama.com/sites...AB-Minutes.pdf
That may finally be addressed (hopefully) with the upcoming renovations.Last edited by Pier#r; 04-20-2020 at 12:03 PM.

I think a "no net fishing within two miles of the pier" law would increase the fishing exponentially.

I addressed that very subject to the CAB at the May 2012 meeting (pages 23-27)...

Again, no action was taken :-(

I am a regular at the Four Seasons pier and we have a problem with surfers regularly and divers occasionally. I have seen many surfers caught and personally have caught one. The guards will warn them and usually they are just ignored. The net boats are a problem for the entire Alabama coast and it needs to be shut down.

I bet they fight like hell. I'm guessing cobia/tarpon tackle would be the preferred method for fighting them.

Cook over a beach fire on the surfboard using driftwood turning every 15 minutes until done, discard surfer and eat the surfboard.
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!
