What is a good setup for pier fishing? Will be in Galveston this week, if the wind doens't blow me away. Looking to catch anything from reds to whities. Also, is it even worth trying when the winds are 30+? Thanks

my girlfriend and I fish all around the island when we go to galveston. We love san luis pass pier.Galveston fishing peir is also pretty good. san luis pier is alot easier to pull wagons or carts on if you have alot of tackle. there are no stairs to carry stuff up. galveston fishing pier is not bad, but can get pretty crowded, and parking can be an issue. you have to park parallel next to seawall. good luck

I hear St. Joseph Island side of the jetties is the best way to go.. but not sure where the "boat" is that takes you over there.

the pier at Seawolf Park is good at night, aint sure bout in the day though.

The winds can kill fishing especially up in 30 mph . I had a nice day friday at Galveston Fishing Pier , caught drums and sheephead and whiting and a few sharks . need help call me >>>

bobtx,
what time of the night were you fishing? Also, what were you using? Thanks for the info. My lady will be very pleased with me if I catch something.

Young I was using dead shrimped peeled on a double drop leader. Now the National Weather Service saying Thrusday and Friday the winds are suppose to die down to around 10 mp out of the East south east. now thats good . I am going again friday and hope to get some keeper drum and reds .

As far as the "galveston pier" that everyone always mentions, which specific pier is being referred to? From what I was looking up, it seems there is one on 61st st, and one on 91st st. Also, how much does it cost? Thanks

It is on 91st street and it is 9$ Bring a pier or bridge net or you can rent one for $ 4.

Maybe I should charge people for me landing their fish ??????

don't charge me buddy! I sure hope the weather works out well this weekend. My rods have been crying.

I think you netted one of mine before, what do you charge?!! I like the pier there plenty of friendly people willing to help. I did go out and get my own net. Maybe I can return the favor!

SJ for you NOTHING be my pleasure.

Can ya drink beer on the 91st street pier?

can you drink beer on the san luis pier ?

Hell yes just do not get drunk and nasty otherwise get your BUTT kicked off .
