Thread: Fairhope Pier re-opened this morning:

Since the reopening- I was first on the pier... I caught the first fish (catfish)... I brought the first red to the pier... roughly 15-18lbs... and was also the first to not have a landing net handy. Tried to hand-line up and... first to snap a line.

o well, I know where he lives.

Nice afternoon...

"Golden Opportunities"

How far is that pier from Foley

Thanks for the report, I miss fishing over there. Spent a lot of good nights on that pier netting drums and reds till your arms wanted to fall off lol. That pier is probably a 30 minute 40 minute drive from Foley on a good day.

here's the cam link if anyone needs it. AXIS

Approx 23#, 35" . Lost a bigger one. Using cut mullet, so it didn't hurt when a big school swam by. (Roughly 2am. )

been a while since fishing there, what area was you at?

I was out on the end, all three hit within 100ft of the pier.
