Pier Fishing at Grande Isle

Last week I finally went Pier Fishing in Gulf Shores for the first time. Quite possibly, it was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. Over the course of a couple of days, I hooked a nice Jack, a shark, and had a plethora of others get away.
So, now I got the fever and wanted to give the Grande Isle Pier a try.
Anyone ever fish out there? What types do they catch and on what baits?

Usually alot of mexican-types and white trash-types out there.
Oh you meant fish? The couple times I've walked the peir I've only seen people catching big reds, catfish, and a shark. I've heard of people actually catching a bunch of trout there but I've never seen it done in person.

Last storm deposited a lot of sand at G.I. State Park pier. Not deep enough to fish now. Rocks a couple of hundred yards before are fishable.

The fishing piers are way to crowded IMO. Your best bet is wading and fishing in the surf. That, or get a kayak and hit the marsh. Be aware of the riptide, it can be dangerous.

Never had much luck on the pier, can be a bit crowded for my liking. But I've taken my son and his buddies and I usually sit in a lawn chair and watch them catch. Caught a few specs, few whites and every now and then they hook a bull red and enjoy the fight. We probably don't stay late enough for the good fishing on the pier. Most of the good catches I've heard from people happen much later than I wanna fish.
They will free line live shrimp for trout or cracked crab on the bottom for bull reds...

Fish late at night on the pier under the light,s you will have a blast smashing the specks in GI.. free line live shrimp for trout or cracked crab on the bottom for bull reds... Just find any pier that is lit up you will catch trout .

You can catch 8 inch white trout all night off the bridgeside pier
Bigger specks show up in the fall

Pretty much this. Although you can still catch keeper specks under the lights, most of what you will catch now is going to be white trout.
I never fish during the day, but wait until after 11pm and go fish the lights. Think small; panfish lure small- 1/32 or 1/16oz jigheads. If you have a fly rod, bring that and have a blast catching 10-1 vs the guy next to you fishing with dead shrimp.

Biggest trout I ever caught was off of the pier. It was just over 5lbs. An old man let me use his crab net to pull it up.

2" silver original floating rapala works good under the lights too
