Anyone ever fish the wall that is just to the west of the pass? The section that is in between the gulf restaurant and the condos?

I have been writing letters and emails to state officials for months.. They are passing the buck between Fisheries, Tourism, Dept of Transportation and no one has ****s enough to take action. Estimate is 15 million to repair.
According to this it made the list and is "In Progress"...
View Submitted Projects : NOAA Gulf Spill Restoration
http://www.gulfshorespierfishing.com...tid=3093&stc=1
Estimated cost: $7.4 mil
Time to Implementation: 4-6 months
Time to Project Completion: 7-10 months
So (hopefully) by summer 2016?
That gives me hope.
I still say there needs to be something such as this under the bridge.

This is certainly good news. One of my favorite places to fish and my wife really enjoys coming along to sightsee. Really made my day. Thanks #'r.
I agree Dave!Quote:

Man wouldn't that be nice to have something like that under bridge with lights
That would be nice. I would settle for having some potholes filled at the wall and the fence taken down.
No doubt. Florida has many, Texas and Louisiana have a few as well. To heck with rebuilding the seawall, rip-rap was invented for such situations.Give me the estimated $7.4 million and I'd have money left over to put in a pay booth, as well as for you, a few dozen more good folk and every fisherman in my family to fish on my dime, for a long long time.Quote:

I am now myself limited in mobility to some degree and will also be looking forward to regaining this fishing access spot. Over the years I have caught many fish from that area.
Hmm, say yer prayers that this goes thru folks!
This note from the ALDOT Director sounds like this is far from ' a done deal.'

David, sorry but ALDOT is not tied in to the “Gulf Spill restoration” process.
I am meeting with an Orange Beach representative tomorrow and will ask about it.
Typical governmental snafu.
