I have been pierfishing since 1949. I have fished on piers ranging in quality form the kind that would shake and feel like it was about to fall in the water if a cat walked on it. No lights, no running water, no cleaning/bait stations, not even any trash cans. And forget about a store of any kind that might sell bait, tackle, food or drink. Then again I have fished on the Galveston Fishing Pier (pictured here) and pretty much every thing in between.
There are a couple of good piers in Corpus but for overall quality of the structure itself, amenities, the water it is over and the number/kinds of fish to be caught there, my considered opinion is that the Galveston Fishing Pier is far and away the very best fishing pier that I know of anywhere.

galveston fishing pier, and the galveston jetties.
It looks like the San Luis Pass pier is rebuilt and nicer than it was.

San Luis Pass - Bull Reds, Trout, etc.
Pier at Park in Port A (pice from tx16 gathering) - Flounder
Dozens of motel piers used to be some of the best (and least expensive) trout fishing under the lights at night since I started fishing saltwater around 1963.
Brings back many great memories. CF?

The Okaloosa Island Pier near Destin Florida is about as nice as I've
been on. A very nice place to eat where you pay to fish and the pier
is always clean. I've managed to hook my son up with Kingfish from
the T-head both times we fished there. I've fished the SLP and
Galveston piers and both can be outstanding for trout if the water
is decent but if it isn't then it's hardheads,whiting, sharks and
drum. Later Baker

Mansfield Cut jetties. Kinda of a pain to get to but well worth the effort. My BIL hooked a nice tarpon in May on a Berkley Gulp with ultra light spinning tackle. One good run and a jump and the fish was free. But really, in terms of fish diversity and solitude it can't be beat. I just might be standing on those rocks in a couple of weeks. SPI jetties are good too but see a lot more traffic.

To be honest, I dont know. I have seen some nice bulls caught there, but when I go I always target trout in the lights. I save my bull hunting for the beach.Redfishr said:
