    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.

    That may finally be addressed (hopefully) with the upcoming renovations.

    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)...

    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.

    Is there a limit on surfers, and how do you cook them?

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

    People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.

    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.

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