I walk on the beach in the morning quite frequently and I noticed the progress of the Gulf Shores Pier this morning.  Dang. They are bringing it.  I can't get over how fast they are adding length.  Tomorrow I will count the sections (I should have this morning) but they are moving very quick.

Anyone else seen it?

I went by when I was there in may....and yes at that time they were away from the beach....I would like to see some current pic's.....maybe I'll get on the web cam and try to see it if I can.......

I will look forward to its opening this coming spring that was my favorite pier and will ease some pressure on the Pensacola pier this next spring,,,,,although for the cobe season Pensacola is better......just to many boats for them to get through to make it in any numbers that far on there migration

Here's an update we did last month...

http://www.orangebeach.ws/Gulf_State_Park/2008-05-19-Gulf_State_Park_Pier_Update.html

The state DCNR is asking for public comment (until July 14) about the proposed 'reefing' of the new pier using rubble from the old pier. @ dcnr.amrd@dcnr.alabama.gov
or call 251- 968-7576

Their proposal can be seen at http://www.outdooralabama.com/fishing/saltwater/GSP_Pier_Reefs.pdf

Many of us believe too many reefs (or even ANY) will have a detrimental effect on mackerel and other types of fishing. There is a 'spirited' discussion of this @ http://emeraldcoastpierfishing.myfastforum.org/about1556.html

PLEASE read the proposal and let the AL DCNR know how you feel about it.

When is the state of Alabama going to finish the rebuild of our fishing pier? Will the opening be delayed beyond March 1, 2009? Still waiting to hear...

I could only think that the rubble laying around the new pier could help bring it down in the future, all that concrete pounding on the pier supports in the next H....

Monday July 14th is THE LAST day to make public comment of the reefing proposal to the AL DCNR.

The next phase is the permitting process which could (potentially) delay the opening of the new pier for months.
