Aldeer's Peach is quite a pier fisherman and wanted to show y'all the sailfish he's caught off piers in the Florida panhandle. Posting these photos and stories for Peach.


He caught this one three years ago off Panama City.



That is Peach on the left and his buddy on the right. This is a giant sail caught off okaloosa pier two years ago by his buddy. Ran out 500 yards of line.


Here is a fish Peach caught off Panama City pier last fall. Got him to the pier and released him.



This fish was caught ten days ago off Panama City pier by a friend of Peach.

I was there to see that fish get landed. They were thick that day. Probably saw a dozen or so. A ton of tarpon too.

Congratulations Peach!

If any of y'all are down visiting you need to go to local piers and watch these fisherman. They know their stuff and the majority of them like Peach will be glad to help you out if you want to wet a line. I didn't really know about these guys much until the nineties when my Daddy's health kept him off the boat and he took up pier fishing.

Anything live with a mono leader works well. I prefer live cigar minnows, smaller hardtails, ballyhoo, lys, but my preferred bait is a moonpie.

I just got back from a family vacay to PCB an hour ago, fished on both piers 3 days (Fri, Sat, Sun). Overall it was slower than previous trips, but had some really neat experiences. I didn't see anybody catch anything large, BUT I had two humongous tarpons make an idiot of me! LOL

I always take 3 or 4 of my bass rods, nothing special, and a backpack with some boxes of tackle/equipment. I don't spend much time on the end of the pier with the wannabe pros, but I'll wander out there throughout the morning and make some casts. I like to throw a 6" flutter spoon, and I'm just throwing it on my 7'-6" Heavy bass rod with 15lb flouro. I caught several decent Spanish, some oddly big remoras, and I did land about a 10lb jack!! But twice Saturday morning I had a tarpon (looked 6 or 7 feet long and big around as a man) roll on my spoon!!!!!....trust me, it's over quick, but it's awesome for the 10 seconds I have them on! LOL

The dolphins were awful this time, they took 5 fish away from me. And I've never seen dolphins this big, one in particular had to have been substantially over 10' long and half as big around as a dern car! He/She would sit at the bottom of the pier with it's mouth open begging for fish. Lots and lots of giant sea turtles too, they were neat.

I fished the County pier last thursday. It was pretty dead except for a few tarpon. Dog days of August are officially here. It will get better in September.

Who are these wannabe pros at the end of the pier? And did they leave in a wakeboard boat?

laugh That's just how I refer to 'em! I'm a know-nothing goober down there with my flimsy bass rods, and there's always this group of younger looking guys with Huk shirts, those fancy wheeled carts with a dozen rods in the holders, Yeti cooler, and they all seem to know each other.

Did either of the PCB piers used to be longer? I really don't know the length, and they may all be the same, but they "seem" shorter than the one at Gulf Shores.

My experience too but the ones I've got up the courage to speak to have been super helpful. Find one with a little gray on the temples. They seem to take pity on us freshwater guys and will help you.

I know almost everyone that fishes the end of Navarre Pier, Okaloosa pier, and some at the Panama City piers. Most are very helpful if you just ask, but there are some real jerks out there. Me and some of the older veterans, stay on their case all the time. I wonder if some of these younger guys go to school or work! I actually enjoy helping the novice anglers out and let them fight a bunch of the fish I hook.
