well in the summer the navarre pier is a good place, and theres some rubble east of the pensacola pier that you see some divers at now and thenbut besides that i dont know of any good places

There isn't really much to shore dive around here...there is the PCB peir rubble and Navarrepeir...that pretty much all i can think of that is actually structure. Sadly I'll admit that I don't do as much as I should, but...we ALL need to support the RFRA!!! They are in the process of trying to get some good shore stuff together forthe locals and visitors to snorkel and dive! I don't have a boat either, so i'm pretty much stuck to the shore or emptying my bank accountso I can actually get wet!
I don't know a lot about Navarre peir, buti'm pretty sure you can't shoot fish at PensacolaBch. rubble because of the close proximity to a public fishing peir and public swimming beach.....

When is the Ft. Pickens road going to be completed???

That used to be a hot spot before Ivan and Dennis hit.

I've heard, by the summer...but that was a few months ago! Hopefully soon though!!!!

If you can afford a cheap used kayak, there are sever wrecks within a few miles of the beach. The 3 barges, ect. You would only need a little handheld GPS and on calm days your golden!

Where you live? Perdido Pass in bama has plenty of shooting opp. Shoot the bridge, the wall and two sets of jetties(very productive). The whiskey wreck in gulf shores holds fishys at times.

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.
