I was over at the State Pier website http://www.alapark.com/gulfstate/Gul...20Park%20Pier/
And I was looking at the rules and regulations. One stood out to me, as one I see violated ALOT.
"Catch must be placed in container within 10 minutes"
I hate seeing King and Spanish caught and left baking in the sun for 30 minutes plus. Obviously, if a fish is baking in the sun that long, it isnt good anymore.
That was one of Chuck's pet peeves,and boy did he enforce it.

When Chuck was around, your fish was either in a cooler, or it was being fed to Sam or a shark.
[size=12pt]Next time you see this happening, politely remind the violator of the rule, and/or call the pier house and get them to handle it. 251-967-3474

Amen! If you catch it you eat it.......or give it to someone who wants it.
Seen folks leaving fish out for several hours in warm weather and then taking them to the cleaning table.
:puke:
I agree Bubba, I watched several this morning piered before daylight and sat on the deck well into the morning. What a waste.
No joke we really do need to enforce it better, always bugs me to see redfish laying all over the deck and people just leave them there half the day.
We should all consider ourselves conservationist and enforce it if your not going to eat the fish or use as bait then please release ,and understand if you intend to eat it put it on ice in a cooler to prevent it from spoiling ,,,lets all manage our fish ,,,,Resources
It is ridiculous to see so many fish laying on the deck when 90 percent of the people out there have coolers to place them in
Is there a homeless shelter nearby? Never seen one yet that wouldn't take donated food. After 10 min, claim it and put it on ice for them.
The fish baking in the sun is the sole purpose I purchased an ice chest that is so large. It's great to be able for Richard and myself to be able to catch our fish in one day and not have to take a break during the day to clean the fish to make room.
Albert Faulk and Jack Jones were the same way. I did not know either and I've been fishing the pier over 40 years. I posted the other day about that very thing. It really irks me to see fish lying arouns...esp in the sun!!!
Unattended rods on the rail were a big problem today..
I know this is really going to ruffle alot of feathers ,but abiding by the creel limits might also help .
The Charity I'm a part of ALABAMA HUNGER RELIEF would love to take those donations. We are the same organization that has been holding the inshore fishing tournaments across the bay I post on here. I will speak with the other board members and see if there is a way we can set up a cooler or something so fish can be donated. :headbang:
Before I quit deer hunting a few years ago, I donated everything I took except one small doe for sausage. Local processors would butcher and wrap for free. The shelters came by every couple of days to pick up. Win-Win
