The 61st Fishing Pier is now Open!!

After almost two years, I have a beach-front fishing pier report to pass on. The 61st Street Fishing Pier reopened Saturday, and there were a lot of redfish caught. Owner John Menna called in to say there were some really big reds caught Saturday night.

Menna said for the next several days, the pier will be closed during the day while workers finish up and the doors will open at 5 p.m. The pier will be open all night and close about 7 a.m. For information, call 409-744-8365.

Good News About The Galveston Fishing Pier

The  Owner Jimmy McClure of The Galveston Fishing Pier replied to my note asking him for an update, and the news is good.

Mr. McClure anticipates a June 1, 2011, opening. He estimates everything will be in place in about three weeks for the project to begin. At that time, fencing, a storage container and specially milled materials will be ordered. The specialty materials will take the longest to arrive, likely six weeks. At that point, work will begin on the structure itself.

Mr. McClure hopes to have his new fishing pier totally supplied by solar and wind energy. I will give periodic updates after work begins. Article posted 8/2/2010 Read more about this at The Galveston County Daily News by Cap't Joe Kent
