Sun Dec 2 DIPier report

Post by Pier#r »

No fishing for me (I had to work this weekend :roll:
But I did go to the DI Pier to attend a memorial service for a good fishing buddy (member of the ACFA) who recently passed away.
Image

That old guy LOVED this pier and the people who fish on it 8)
And they loved him :cry:

Image

Banditt's widow "Banderetta" says goodbye...
Image

After that family members and friends dropped roses and one of his custom rods into the water...
Image

As the memorial drifted away with the current the roses seemed to surround the fishing rod... 8)
Image

That rod had been broken some time ago by a redfish...
And as if on cue, the ONLY guy fishing on the pier at that time bowed up to a good fish... 8)
Image

And it turned out to be nice upper slot redfish...
:shock: Image

WE hung around for an hour or so reminescing and I took some pics of the sand filling in around the pier.

Here's the view along the east side...
Image

and to west...

From the west T looking toward Dauphin Island...

From the east T looking toward Dauphin Island...

including the sandbar by the beach that has built in with the incoming tides...

And the view southward from the end...
Image

Beach views of the west side...

and the east side...

It's remarkable that any fish can still be caught there at times.
Maybe "Banditt" will put in a good word for us :idea:

God's peace old friend :D
