Well said, Brant. I grew up in Fort Walton Beach in the 60's (yeah, I'm that old) and we always disparaged the tourists because they got lost and drove slowly. But now I realize they were just trying to enjoy a little time in the paradise we live in every day. I still live in Florida and do most of my fishing in what is considered a tourist destination. I go out of my way to explain what I'm fishing for and make the experience a little more interesting and pleasurable for those I meet on the beach. They do boost the local economy but they are also human beings like us trying to squeeze a little more fun out of life. Thanks for taking the time to recognize that. Great video!

Well said. How many times have you heard, "It's a great place to visit, except the locals are jerks."? Plenty of places like that. Don't be one of them. There are more places in California than not, where if a non local tries to surf, they will make you wish you never stepped in the water. They will actually hurt you. They behave like a floating street gang.

I agree with your outlook, a trip to your neck of the woods on the beach may be a once-in-a-lifetime deal. For some families/people, having a local step up and give a little help with directions or some other nuance only a local would know can make a trip that much more memorable. When they recall the trip I've heard many say remember that guy or gal that helped us when this or that happened and they didn't have to, what a cool place to visit.

I watch a few fishing videos but Ron is my favorite wing man." No. I don't want to reel in your stupid fish". I can fish with that guy.

I just came across the video and when they stated “Pensacola”, I had to share. We moved from Sembach, Germany to Navarre, Florida. My husband bought me a car and I decided to learn to fish because as a girl (child), I wasn’t allowed to go with my uncles which took my brother. I went to a Walmart en route to the fishing pier in Pensacola and got the rod, and bait. I drove onto the pier, parked and went fishing- I fell in love to a relaxing moment unaware that went pass midnight and my husband called my cell. Wow! Just to share!

My hook sizes were just a little bigger than his. I was catching more than him. He got so mad he ended up making me the bad guy in the entire line of fishermen close to us. I felt so bad being wrong even though I thought I've done all my research before I took that fishing expedition. These years later on, I keep on wishing to meet that man again --- just to give him a smile... my smile is not very good. I'm an ugly looking person. But always do my research going into new places.

On vacation September 2011 in Pensacola. I learned on that trip there is a strong rip under those piers. Was snorkeling after a few drinks under the pier and the deeper the water the more fish I could see so I went with it. There I was flying like superman past the pilings. I was in disbelief when I reached the platform at the end. Needless to say the local fisherman were not impressed with this tourist when I popped out on the east side to get out of the rip and make my way back to shore. Half of them wanted to kick my butt and the other half wanted to save me.

While I never fished when I lived in florida(I worked too darn hard) I used to go and watch the guys fishing off the Deerfield pier. I often went home with fish to cook too. All because I wasn't afraid of the pelicans, an older gentleman had accidentally hooked one one afternoon and kinda panicked a bit. I helped him walk it to the beach and ran down and got the bird off his line and saved his lure. He admitted to being afraid of them. After that all the regulars would all chat with me and ask if I had enough food and would send me home with fish. I sure miss that camaraderie.

Pensacola Beach!! My home for 42 years!! Love seeing this pop up in my recommended!😁

Never a nice experience to get insulted especially if one is on vacation. I've never pier fished in Florida but did some of that 15 to 20 years back in North Myrtle beach, Virginia beach & Ocean City Maryland. Fortunate to say that back then people I met fishing on the piers were mostly locals who were extremely friendly, helpful & decent. Some went as far as giving tips as how to pier fish properly & even shared bait & tackle equipment without asking for compensation. Maybe it's signs of the times or just how indecent we now are to each other. This pier owner/operator need to educate this employee as how to interact with the public. Definitely not good for business especially the tourist dollars.

I love pier fishing. I’ve fished from South Padre Island Texas to Panama City Florida. If you want the best experience, go anywhere east of the Mississippi River. Unfortunately the Mississippi river empties into the Gulf of Mexico, and all that dirty river water is washed towards Louisiana and Texas (although the water near South Texas clears up some), so anything west of the Mississippi is gonna be really muddy water. All that blue water is east of the Mississippi like in Pensacola, and to an extent South Padre.

The image of the tourist wading into the OBX surf to throw his crabpot out, then watching it flop back through the surf will never leave me.

There is always Karen’s who will not mind their own business. The world would be a better place if everyone worried about themselves.

The last pier I fished on I had 3 poles in the water and one occasionally in my hand to catch bait or use a jig. That's four poles. Id be in trouble there myself. I wouldn't go back either !

I use to do that with my dad back in the 80's we use to fish off the Pier in Monterey or Santa Cruse. in the 12 years we did that we had one incident when some lady came up to my dad and he told her to leave in a very colorful way.

Thanks, Brant. I appreciate this video. I come down to Pensacola and Navarre once a year and I "try" to fish, inshore and on the pier, however I have the worst luck. I spend money on baits and tackle, and catch perhaps a small whiting or little cavelle. One year, I got nothing. But I enjoy the weather, the blue water, restaurants, and stores. I try to be courteous to the locals cause I know it's their home. But I agree with you, he should've been more friendly on the rules.

I lived in Ft. Walton Beach from 1962 to 1977, and spent a lot of time on the pier, and surf casting before the hotels blocked off the beaches. Sure do miss that white sand.

“Do you wanna fight my next fish?” 😂😂😂😂

Ron has the same kinda luck I have . Everyone around me can be catching fish and I cant even get a bite lol

I was in the military down at Hurlburt for a few years back in 2017-2019 fished that pier many many times never had to much luck on that pier but there was one a mile or two down under a bridge that was insane to fish

It’s great living in the F.L.A. It is nice in the summertime when the heat chases them out but don’t forget to come back now. Ya’ hear 😆

I fished there years ago. One of the best experiences of my life. Can't wait to be back.

I remember catching Spanish Mackerel with my dad in perdido key on the bay side.

Great commentary on patience with tourists. So very true.

Some people should not deal with the public and that guy is one of them. You handled that much better then I would have.

We deal with it in Naples Florida but you dealt with it very well,

What a great reminder to all of us …. To have a bit of understanding for a person who may not be up on the proper etiquette to pier fish….

I'm from Pensacola Florida and I now live in San Diego California but I was born and raised in Pensacola Florida and fished all of our major fishing piers and I didn't even know that rule either, but sandy Beach and NAS Pensacola base Beach shore fishing is a great location too.

Always good fishing when the parking lot looks like that lol

Just vacationed on Pensacola Beach in mid March. Wish I would have found your channel sooner. Our 3rd time in Pensacola and we would love to live there. I'll keep you in mind for real estate.

The Karen was mad you caught a fish and gave it away but not to him. I’d holla every time I’d caught a fish… IJS🤣😂🤣

Geeez oh man Ron, you made me laugh SO hard when you said "no I don't want to fight yer stupid fish Brant" that was jus so funny with that smile on your face!

I'm in southeast Michigan and I'm jealous of the piers you guys have. The shoreline from Lake Erie to Lake Huron only has a handful of access points for shore fishermen. I love fishing more then anything but I'm giving up on the sport here. If word gets out on the message boards that shore fishing is hot these shore spots get over crowded. Almost 150 miles of shoreline is privately owned.
