The issue of fish carcass disposal, and even a possible grinder solution were brought to the attention of the Conservation Advisory Board by several concerned pier fishermen in Feb 2012.
(see pages 37 through 60)... https://www.outdooralabama.com/sites...AB-Minutes.pdf
That may finally be addressed (hopefully) with the upcoming renovations.Last edited by Pier#r; 04-20-2020 at 11:03 AM.

I think a "no net fishing within two miles of the pier" law would increase the fishing exponentially.

I addressed that very subject to the CAB at the May 2012 meeting (pages 23-27)...

Again, no action was taken :-(

I am a regular at the Four Seasons pier and we have a problem with surfers regularly and divers occasionally. I have seen many surfers caught and personally have caught one. The guards will warn them and usually they are just ignored. The net boats are a problem for the entire Alabama coast and it needs to be shut down.

I bet they fight like hell. I'm guessing cobia/tarpon tackle would be the preferred method for fighting them.

Cook over a beach fire on the surfboard using driftwood turning every 15 minutes until done, discard surfer and eat the surfboard.
Good tip Tom! These two big fellas were screaming like girls when that happened to them last week... LOL
A Spadefish safety tip!
