Anyone in this area willing to take some rookies fishing? Mobile,
Mississippi, Pensacola?


Pier fishing

Dolphin Island pier,, turn right at the T,, it's at the public beach
Alabama State pier, at Gulf Shores,, 825 feet long

Just walk out on the piers and ask for help,, everyone will show you the
ropes on getting started, you start with the person that takes your
money,, find out what they are catching that day and get the right bait

You don't need heavy gear, unless your going for the huge fish,, and you
won't be, not at first that is, so fresh water size stuff is all you need


I want to learn everything about everything - salt, fresh, crabs,
oysters, shrimp.


Then you need to ask questions at these piers to start with,, make sure
your talking to someone who is not in the same shape you are,, there are
many novices that fish these piers.

Don't forget to rinse down all your gear with fresh water before leaving
the pier, the have hoses for this


Thank you! I bought a bunch of basic fishing gear a couple years ago
and it's still sitting here unsused waiting for my husband........he's
an over the road truckdriver. I guess I'm going to have to get my
fishing license and take the kids. I have no problem with asking
people...he does rolls eyes. Maybe we'll start at the river a
mile from our new house.....there is a little marina there......

Thanks ya'll!
