    Just a little wind and some rain here, the AM high tide helped us out big time keeping the surge down.

    Beloved South Mobile County Fishing Spot Heavily Damaged by Nate | WKRG
    Beloved South Mobile County Fishing Spot Heavily Damaged By Nate

    By Chad PetriPublished: October 8, 2017, 12:23 pm
    Coden, AL (WKRG) — One of the temporary casualties of Hurricane Nate is a beloved fishing spot in south Mobile County.
    Dauphin Island Mayor Jeff Collier confirms the Cedar Point Pier was heavily damaged by Hurricane Nate. Collier said most of the decking was knocked off and the pier may need a major rebuild.
    Cedar Point Pier is located just north of the Dauphin Island Bridge. It has been around for decades and is one of the busiest fishing spots in Mobile County.
    This damage report is on the heels of more damage being reported on Dauphin Island.
    Officials say three miles of the west end of Bienville Boulevard is covered with sand six feet deep.
    Where will 'Blue Pants Bob' fish now?

    Boat fisherman have an excellent spot to fish until its' rebuilt for sure. That pier fished a lot of folks day and night. Sure hope they get it back up for them!

    From the damage I saw, its water pipes broken and electric ripped loose in addition the the rails and blowout sections gone, there's no way they will get it open by Shrimp Fest. My guess is they'll be lucky to get it repair d in a month!

    IIRC they've opened half before, out to the bathrooms.

    People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.

    If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

    They've rebuilt several times.
    Someone on fb (claimed he used to work there) stated the guy said he was too old to rebuild again :-(

    I look forward to seeing what Nate did to the local sandbars, particularly around the GSP, Dauphin Island and Ft. Morgan Point.
