The new Sunset Point on Fly Creek is good. The Wash House never disappoints, we have a new Seafood Steamer Restaurant downtown and Master Joes for Sushi. Let me know when you head this way!
Everybody is STUPID at something!!

Here's a pic off the dock in the back of the house we rented. Is it worth trying to fish off a dock like this or should I go somewhere else?

If they have a light out there you can usually catch specks at night. Mostly croaker, hard heads, ground mullet, some small reds. No telling though, I have caught small sharks off piers like that. Where is it, point clear, mullet point, down towards weeks bay? Get a crab trap too. Not sure what the area is called. Its on county road 1 ... Here's the place ...

Ok, did some googling ... I'm a fresh water fisherman from North AL, not familiar with your type of fishing
Reds=Redfish=Red Drum ... probably not good to eat but fun to catch
Specks=Crappie ... Excellent to eat
Crabs=Blue crabs ... Excellent to eat
Flounder ... Excellent to eat
No?

Ok, did some googling ... I'm a Yankee from North AL, not familiar with your type of fishing
Reds=Redfish=Red Drum ... good to eat. Filet like a bass or walleye and leave scales on filet. Place scale side down on grill and season to taste(add butter to top of filet).
Specks=Crappie ... good fried or grilled, but not as good as crappie.
Crabs=Blue crabs ... Excellent to eat, BUT will need a bunch of them....
Flounder ... Excellent to eat - best of the three mentioned and my favorite fish from the bay.
No?
Fixed it for you. Have a safe trip.
