I go to the Navarre Pier from spring to fall. Technically you have to be 100 yards from a public swimming beach (the designated swimming area) so make sure you are not to close. I've shot flounder, sheepshead, grey snapper, mackerel, spadefish and seen some cobia although I did not try to take them with my polespear. The best part is that it is shallow enough that anybody in decent shape can freedive the pier eliminating the cost of tank fills etc. If you work at it you can get really good. The sheepshead are best in spring, I've got flounder at all times of the year and the snapper, mackerel and spadefish are summertime fish. Every once in a while somebody will bring in a grouper but I have not been so fortunate.
