New Gulf State Park Pier Pics

Gulfcoastgamefish · **Posted:** Thu Apr 02, 2009 4:30 pm

Can't remember where I found these pics. I did not take them and I don't know when they were taken. They may be from Orange Beach's site. Anyway, they are some good pics some of you may have seen. I am working on getting out there to take some pics as soon as I can. Enjoy.

A nice look from Sea-N-Suds cam but not a very accurate one. Still have more pilings to be sank and probably have to straighten out some that are there without girders. It will be nice fo' sho'! :rr:

Update Thursday April 16

They have TWO cranes working on the site today.
Could one be removing the old pier?
Just a few more pilings for the end platform remain to be driven :cheers:

Is this a serious reply or is it made in jest? If serious, then what makes you believe this? From what I've read, there was decent fishing at both the old gulf shores pier and at the dauphin island pier. Water clarity certainly won't be what it is on the florida panhandle piers, but frankly....king and spanish mackerel aren't always super bitey in gin clear water from what I've seen in my limited experience. Pompano don't seem to be affected too terribly much by murky water, nor are flounder or redfish. If your post was made in jest, then sorry for my sarcasm detector being set too low. Anyway, let me know.

he used a board "term" if you will

he is in fact rather excited about wetting a hook, probably already has a spot picked out. lol

Yeah no foul there Brad

It's a phrase coined several years ago meant to deflect googans from fishing in a prize spot :wink:

And I agree with your assessment of the mackerel bite potential on the new pier.

Actually surfnturf is a 'jack afishiando' as it were.
:shock:

He caught the current AL state record from the DIPier several years back :cheers:

The wind picked up to about 15 knots and the seas started building

The wind forecast has changed, and it looks like the weekend will be the next possible 'window of opportunity' :roll:

Nope...I'm serious....nothing but jacks and gars. Just ask Baghdad Bob...he'll tell you all about it.

Seriously, after it opens I plan on hiring Qtip to go with me and catch some bait so I can try to top my record!!!

Zing-a-zing-zing
