Why is there virtually no mention of fishing piers / Seawolf Park etc., on either of the 2 virtual-twin Texas fishing forums?

Even Texas Saltwater Fishing magazine - no mention whatsoever?

Is there a rule about that that I am unaware of? Is that topic verboten? If so, why is that?

no interest

i just think there is too much access to good fishing, no one is interested in it to speak of. the people that are serious, aren't fishing piers as a general rule of thumb. you can walk in all over the bay system, easy access wading, this is where the would be pier guys are. :texasflag

Poor health has made it impossible for me to wade, or jump jetties, and while I love fishing, I cant make someone's boat-payment for them, to go.

So I have to go where I have to go. Its just curious that there is no mention of it any report or anything...

Thanks much!

Too many hierarchical rules from the pier fascists on who gets to fish the T-Head, how big is the pier buggy you rolled in on, blah blah blah.. and if you do manage to catch a fish, then you are inundated with folks elbows to ******** trying to get in your "spot" while you bait up again.

It isn't peaceful or slightly enjoyable to me...same stuff goes on at the freshwater crappie barges.

Thank you. I much appreciate the insight. I live 3-hours away so that makes it tough to scout locations but I just need to do some fishing before I lose my mind. Galvatraz (I understand the name, now) or 61st Pier is what I found on Google.

The problem with the piers seems to be that anytime the fishing is supposed to be good, the piers are packed shoulder-to-shoulder - and I rather cast lures. There is just no room to cast lures - similar to what I was advised about Galvatraz.

If I do hit Gavatraz it will be just to cast lures off the seawall/parking lot side of the... Island - just for pleasure, and likely avoid the pier altogether.

I sure wish I had a fishing bud in Houston though, that is one heck of a fishery you guys have at your doorsteps.

I spent the last few years NOT fishing and talking to doctors and I am sick of talking to them - I'd rather go fishing - so that is what I am going to do.

May drive over next (mid) week if I can work a few other things out in time - if not then the week after - and for sure I'll be scouting around in October.
