Alright, let me tell ya about this Folly Pier fishin’ thing. I ain’t no fancy expert, mind you, but I’ve seen my share of fishin’ and caught a mess of ‘em, too. So listen up, and maybe you’ll learn a thing or two.
First off, they say bull minnows are the best bait. Bull minnows, ya hear? But if ya can’t get them, shrimp, that gulp stuff, or even strips of fish belly will do the trick. Don’t go throwin’ your line way out in the ocean. Fish along the pier, close to them pilin’s. That’s where the fish like to hang out.
Now, about them fish. They got all sorts in that water. Redfish, black drum, flounder, and them speckled trout, they’re there all year round. And come summertime, you get them big tarpon, bluefish, and Spanish mackerel. Them tarpon, they’re somethin’ else, let me tell ya. Big and strong, they’ll give you a fight.

- Black Drum
- Flounder
- Spotted Seatrout

- Bluefish
- Spanish Mackerel
But there’s rules, ya know. Can’t just go fishin’ willy-nilly. You gotta get a fishin’ pass from the gift shop. And don’t even think about fishin’ after the sun goes down. They’ll kick you right off that pier. And keep an eye on your rods. Don’t just leave ‘em lyin’ around. Two rods is all they let you have, so don’t be greedy.
That pier, it’s a long one. Over a thousand feet, they say. Sticks right out into the ocean. Pretty as a picture, it is. And the fishin’ can be real good, if you know what you’re doin’. They say it’s some of the best saltwater fishin’ around.
Some folks, they say there’s two types of fishin’ on that pier. I ain’t sure what they mean by that, but I reckon they’re talkin’ ’bout different ways of doin’ it, maybe different baits or different spots. Me? I just fish however feels right.
Now, if you’re lookin’ for them fish inshore, away from the pier, you gotta find them creeks. The best ones are those with plenty of food and places for the fish to hide from bigger fish. Docks and such, they like that. It gives ‘em cover.
And if you want to know what’s bitin’, you gotta listen to folks who’ve been out there. They post reports, ask questions, and share tips. That’s how you learn, ya know? Can’t just go it alone. Gotta get some help from your neighbors.
So, that’s about all I know about fishin’ at Folly Pier. It ain’t rocket science, but it ain’t always easy either. You gotta be patient, you gotta be observant, and you gotta have a little bit of luck. But if you stick with it, you might just catch yourself a nice mess of fish. And that’s always a good thing, ain’t it?
Remember, get your pass, watch your rods, and fish along the pier. And most importantly, have fun! That’s what fishin’s all about, ain’t it? Just gettin’ out there, enjoyin’ the day, and maybe catchin’ a fish or two.
And don’t forget to bring a cooler to keep your catch fresh! Nothin’ worse than a fish that’s been sittin’ in the sun all day. And maybe a hat and some sunscreen too, if you don’t wanna get burned. The sun can be mighty strong out there on that pier.
Now go on, get out there and give it a try! You might surprise yourself. And who knows, maybe you’ll catch a bigger fish than me. But don’t go braggin’ about it too much, ya hear?
