Pier Fishing

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Where oh where is the longest fishing pier on the Gulf of Mexico?

It’s in Alabama!

The new pier is a full twenty feet wide, and 1540 long. That’s over a quarter mile! It has 2,448 feet of fishing space down the railing.

Not only is the new pier BIG, they added indoor concessions, seating, retail space, comfort stations and wheelchair accessible rail fishing.

Permit to fish off the pier (in addition to a saltwater fishing license or pier license) is $8 for adults and children under 12 are $4. Just looking? They’re let you in for $3.
