Thread: Four Seasons

We are staying at the Four Seasons of Romar Beach the second week in July. It has its own pier out in the Gulf. Has anyone ever fished that pier? We usually fish the State Park Pier. The Four Seasons pier doesnt go out near as far as the State Park Pier. Would we be wasting our time fishing the Four Seasons pier?

Welcome to the forum (and God's country ;-) dawg!

I wouldn't say wasting time, but your catching options are far more limited at Four Seasons as it is currently very shallow there...


IF the water is calm and fairly clear you should do ok with flounder, whiting and trout especially around the lights at night.
And maybe ladyfish, blue runners and possibly even spanish mackerel from the end (with lures) casting off the end early morning and late afternoon.

We have wore the spanish mackerels out there. the occasional king also passes by. I also saw several nice flounder caught a couple weeks ago. That's where we always stay just because of the pier.

Whats the best rigs and baits to use on this pier?

Most of the Spanish mackerels were caught on bubble rigs. The flounders on carolina rigged minnows

Several members fish that pier when down here. Search will find them, but fishing reports from another month are only a general guideline.

Only people who are staying at one of the two condo's can. There's a guard at the entrance and a code to get up from both the beach and onto the pier.

I love the pier at Four Seasons. I fish there all the time. True it is not the best pier for Kings although I have caught them. I have caught some monster Redfish and Black drum. I have hooked Tarpon on rare occasions. I have caught tons of Spanish, Spade Fish, Lady Fish, Blue fish, many many Flounder, Pompano, Whiting, Rays.
Sorry to say but catfish.
I have caught monster shark every trip in the 6 to 8’ range. You are not supposed to fish for shark but if they bite?
You will have fun. Get a bubble rig, gottcha, Large fresh Shrimp,& bull minnows. You will catch fish.
I just left and will come again first week of Sept.
