Thanks to the "Pier Rats"
I just returned from a week in Gulf Shores and while there I spent much of my time at the pier. I was amazed by not only the quality of the fishery but also by the quality of the people I encountered while there. Being a "googan", I think I did a pretty good job hooking up with some big Kings and Jacks but I was extremely unprepared for actually landing them. I was fortunate enough to encounter some really great people who were very quick to offer advice and to drop a gaff so I was able to land several nice Kings. In addition to the help landing fish, I had some great conversations with several of the local "pier rats". You guys are very fortunate to have such an amazing fishery and even more so to be a part of such an amazing group of people! I can't thank you enough for the hospitality!
