Okay pier and I guess we were the lucky ones because most weren't catching much and my boy got a nice flounder. Bathrooms were locked up out on pier but the ones at entrance were open.

WE HAD A GREAT TIME FISHING
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/13/06
FISHING WAS GREAT, CAUGHT ALOT OF FISH. MOSTLY LADY FISH AND BLUES. CAUGHT SOME SPANISH MACHREL. BAIT FISH WERE EVERYWERE. SAW DOLPHINS-LARGE KINGS-SEA COW OR A VERY LARGE SEAL. LARGE SEA TURTLES. GLEN AT THE BAIT STORE TURNED US ON TO BUBBLE RIGS. THIS IS A GREAT RIG FOR THE VACATIONER. CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR. POSSIBLY JUST A WEEKEND FISHING TRIP IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
My dislikes are few but important! People that use the pier need to clean up after themselves more. The pier needs fixed. LIKES- The fishing was great as usual.Most of the people very friendly.Price is affordable.The view,well the view is just great!
The fishing was super!The spanish macks slammed our gotchas(gold)hard and fast.Saw 12 cobia had a few hook ups but no fish landed.Only wish the pier was redone!Our overall trip was great ate spanish and sheepshead until we were full!!

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/20/06
I have going to the pier for about 8 years this is one thing i look forward to each year. the pier is a place you can go to and have a good even if the fish aren,t running. The city of panama city should known they need this pier for out of towner like me so please repair and reopen it as soon as you can.

Worst Fishing ever.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/23/06
I have been going to Panama City Beach for the last 23 years straight. Last year was the worst. I go to fish from the pier every year. I was not told the end of the pier was knocked down until I was already there. Thank God for Funland Arcade. Why does it take the Panama city council so long to get things done, I was told the pier was going to be ...

Dan Russell Pier
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/16/05
Best overall fishing pier on the Gulf Coast. Before Ivan and Dennis the pier was one of longest and best piers to fish both night and day. Prices have gone up with lack of improvements. At times the pier can be very crowded. Parking is no longer a problem with the addition of a new parking lot but this will be a problem once the shopping center is ...

Not for spectators
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/22/05
This pier isn't for spectators. There were too many people fighing. There were bloody fish all over the pier, and you had to dodge to keep from getting hooked when the fisherman were casting their lines. If you are going just to have a peacful, romantic walk on the pier, I don't suggest this one.
