It was evident well before the opening that the moment wasn’t just about fishing. Among those waiting at the edge of the parking lot, the vibe was akin to a family reunion. Stephanie Langston made her way through the group, exchanging greetings and hugs with many.Fishing from the pier had been a big part of her life, with her family hitting it almost every day at times, she said. She’d met her husband fishing on the pier, she said. They like to get there in time for the sunrise, she said. One of her sons had learned to overcome terribly shyness through fishing, she said.“When you see those people every day, it’s a family,” she said. “My husband says they’re like family, but they won’t steal your Oreos.”
