I want to thank all of you. Do you buy live eels at half hitch or is there a substitute bait for Cobia?

I really miss Navarre.

Greetings,
I will be at the Navarre pier and beach the last week in March. I would love to know what species to target this time of year and any specific rigs, baits,jigs, lures etc. I am a saltwater rookie although I have fished the pier once before.

Thank you for your time.

Hi, I have a couple 8" surf rods, and a couple bass rods, could someone add some basic equipment and tactics/species for mid June Navarre pier family fishing. Line wt, floats, weight size,hook size,bait, does the pier sell good bait/tackle? I know this is open ended but if a shrimp on a #1 circle ho...

Thank you AG,

I will be there in June again and I had also read that final removal of the old pier was scheduled for June. I am not sure if a press release is as accurate as "local" information. I am just anxious to see the finished product.

What is the estimate for when the new pier will open for fishing and/or the old pier will be gone? Will demolition of the old pier disrupt fishing in early June?

I have done some research but I am looking for an early June status.


Thank you.

Not to sound like the biggest hillbilly to ever hit Navarre but are sharks a safety issue while swimming/fishing? I understand wade fishing at night may have risk. I read the posts about the shark fishing and I must say I am curious if there are ever shark problems.

I ordered one and found the other at the library. Any tips on fishing the sound side?

Tight lines!

David,

Any ideas on fish ID - I have looked at pictures on line.

Ideas about fishing the sound side (I will be in the conos)

Should I target other fish the first week of June? I hear Pompano are good to eat but am more interested in fun with the family. I was planning on a 2 hook rig 36" long with a barrel swivel at the top and a large snap swivel at the bottom to change 2-4 oz wieght. Thanks for the tip about black vs si...

Thanks for the kelp, I mean help. I will go with the #1 hook - Red unless you suggest otherwise. I did think about renting a kayak and using the structure as a fish magnet but realized I did not want to be the 6:00 news rescue story. It will be the P pier or shore.

Thanks again.

Hello Everyone, I have studied this topic but I need more help. In brief: For surf fishing Navarre 1st week of June would #2 Owner MUTU circle light hooks be a good all around choice for Pompono/Spanish etc.? I plan to tie 20lb mono 2 hook dropper rig w/ 4oz pyamid at the end. Orange bead yes/no? Is...
