Yes Bill I agree. You are totally allowed to talk about it. I just would not expect the same results on the new peer that you had on the old one. I hope more than anyone that those days return. Hell the fishing isn’t even meant that good with $150,000 boat and the best electronic equipment can buy lol. I don’t consider myself the best fisherman by any means, but I have gotten better over the years and it continually becomes harder and harder so that should tell you something

TF I agree, if my post implied the fishing would be the same that wasn't my intent. With that said, I think IF the pier extends far enough there could be a very good fluke fishery. I also think there could be some ling caught again, whiting is a different issue. I think with the resurgence of bunker and bass, there could be a decent seasonal bass fishery, limited but it could happen. I think black fish will be attracted and any other species attracted by jetties. Will it be the same fishery as the 60's and 70's, none are. Would it be great to have a decent ocean fishing pier, yes. That's all I was trying to say.
