Dasarge

Being new to the Gulf Shores fishing pier, I can't speak with any authority about the merits of not allowing trolley fishing. I do know, however, that I've fished all over the country and it's a common and expected necessary evil if you want to keep your baits in one place and near the surface. I've been fortunate in being able to fish the past 2 saturday's at the pier and the currents inevitably pulled everyone's rigs to the east. Tangles did occur and most everyone took it in stride and worked with one another. I had to cut my rigs loose on several occassions due to rat's nests but I didn't complain and didn't loose any significant line. A good number of Kings and spanish were caught. All in all, I think it was a pretty nice morning...Staff were professional and everyone worked well together this past Saturday.

although i was not there yesterday i read your previous post in this thread and saw where youdid not know what went on right in front of your eyes on saturday was a week ago, so i am sure what went on yesterday is a bit fuzzy to you also. now back to your trolly comment. i have fished gs pier long enough to speak with a bit of authority. although you can notsay all trolly fishers acted this way but most did. they would put thier trollies out and evaporate,gone, nowhere to be found. they would be freelining,jigging, at the pierhouse,bathroom and in some instances gone to the store with someone else watching thier rod. now this behavior was not the the rule, however it happened more frequent than to be called the exception. and there are alot of fishers that get penalized for what others do in this instance. but this type of fishing was being used as a fishing of convience, there is alot of people that fish that pier and every other pier that have never owned antrolly anchor or pyamid sinker. if you do not want to get tangled, nudged, bumped, touched or get cooties stay at home.

dave, dasarge has posted twice and i think that is all he/she has ever walked on a pier. the person with the most rods in the first post was charlie and he was not even fishing much and had 3 other fishers in his cart. i guess the loud was me, and i don't give a damn what they think about me. i fished for 2 days and saw countless people that looked like they had just started pier fishing including kids under 10 and were fishing the end and catching fish. dasarge needs to change thier name to dablind or dadumbass.
