Thread: Begging for a fishing trip

There are some guys from that area of the state on the board here, not too many. If you want to do some saltwater fishing, there is a great pier at the Gulf Shores State Park which can get you a good ways out into the ocean. I have fished there a couple times. They may rent equipment there, I really can't remember. There are some tackle shops around that will rent you a rod and a reel for not too much money. You wouldn't have to buy a fishing license if you went to the gulf shores state park pier either, it is included in the $8.00 daily fee. I live in birmingham and would say you could come with me, but i doubt you'll fit in my yak. Either way it should be a great trip.

Thanks, I'll have to give the bridge a try.

Check out......Gulf shores pier fishing forum,,,search engine on site lots of info, helpful folks,,,guide named pier r,,,he is bragged on,they are starting to catch some Spanish and kings,the pier is 1/4 mile long into the gulf

pack a 2 piece med action bass rod, and fish live shrimp on a carolina rig, with 1-2 oz egg sinker at Perdido pass, or Little lagoon pass. Catch flounder, trouts, reds, sheepshead, mangrove snapper... the list goes on and on... and 2 piece rod doesnt take up hardley any room. That's what I do.
