Well if your right....I'll just hang around the pool and get some sleep.....I'm not trying to start any crap!!!!I am very respectful of others at the pier and have never had a problem when I'm there.....catching fish is just a plus to my vacation, I love the pier atmosphere(good or bad) it is very relaxing to me....just looking out in the ocean.Taking fish home, just is a plus....some years I've had a cooler full others only a baggy full.

I really like the people!!!! locals or not......fellow fisher people(to staygenderly correct)

Just a word of advice, keep an eye on your rods on the back rail, in your cart, etc. Some little thievin' b@st@rd ripped off a nice 7' spanish rod from me while I was down there a few weeks ago.From what Iwas told, there were 4 rods stolen that week. 99.9% of the people that frequent the pier are great people but there's at least 1 out there that can't be trusted. I had a great time, saw alot of old friends and met alot of new ones,and caught my share of fish too. Just keep your eyes open.

I can hardly wait til next time.

To sum it up in three words....LACK OF CONSIDERATION.:banghead:banghead:banghead

Be glad you don't have the fishing rules that they have in Colorado......2 rods maximum, and that extra rod cost an additional $5.00 a year.

Pier fishing used to be fun and enjoyable, I usually bring 3 rods out 1 rigged for cig minnow for king or ? (or live bait) one purely for catching bait and one as a backup (those 2 sitting on the island rack). This pier is not owned by the few but paid by those who pay to come on (all experience levels). What urks me is when your fishing lets say for king with a live minnow and have some kid just out of diapers run into you throwing his line over your face and bumping into you and then his friends doing the same....oops cobia. darn. I try to get my 1 line out as fast as I can but that does not excuse inmaturity and rudeness. Yes there is a fish coming, yes I may have been in that spot, yes I can move but who do they think they are that they can run into others like they don't belong there or worse yet curse at them or cut their line. I had one guy old enough to know better use his cigarette to burn the line and say oops my line should not have been "out" there, like I was stupid.

Bottom line, you have people from all over the US coming down here to Pensacola to enjoy the sun and try out the pier and walk away with a feel for "hey they have some nice people down there", not ....$()&*#$(^_@# I'll never go down there again,...those punks were lucky I didn't $)($*#$+.. I love fishing and most of the fishing folks are great and would give you the shirt off their backs, but some of the kids that should still be in school or just out of school should take their step stools back and a few dozen rods back and think about others and when a cobia comes around ...fine go for it but watch others.....it's their pier also....you do not own the right to knock them out of the way period.jak CATCH FISH, ENJOY LIFE, TREAT OTHERS RIGHT, IF YOU CAN'T STAY HOME.

No but I've done quite a bit there in PNS before I got on this forum, during my 28 years in Miami, and 4 years in Brunswick, GA. And during those times I didn't have any problems either.:moon

So I know I have more time pier fishing then you do.
