Mall cop. I was thinking of taking my nephew there this week. Guess I'll keep fishing on the Okaloosa. 47 years fishing on piers from the Outer Banks to the Gulf. I've never seen a mall cop tell a fisherman they couldn't overhand cast with a plug. Brad you are a gentleman. You handled it better than I could have.

It’s not like you are going to catch anything anyway.

[@hampweatherford2098]

This is a prime example of why I fish Florida piers now although ima be at gulf shores pier sometime next week only casting over hand as dramatically as possible just in spite

[@waynemasoner2812]

We are from TN and often fish two or three weeks are year on the Gulf Pier. If there is a NEW rule about NO overhead casting (other than Sabiki) then we will never go back. Either way, the Officer needs to chill out. If a job requires communication skills, they need to be a more selective in who they hire. However, anyone casting should realize a lot of walkers may have never been on a pier, and the caster should also be responsible enough to look before they cast.

[@clarkallen4541]

What we didn’t hear was the beginning of the conversation...someone said something that ticked off the officer and then it was all downhill from there. He clearly said “someone got hit” so obviously there was an issue to which he was responding, and then he caught some attitude from someone and boom goes the dynamite. I mean, it didn’t stop Brad from casting overhand...lmao

[@jeremythompson1593]

@@clarkallen4541 I don’t believe that, I highly doubt anyone got hit, may have been a close call, but that many people around them and Knowone saw or herd anyone getting hit…Sometimes the person casting will feel it when u accidentally hit someone casting…. I think someone was being a Karan just wanted to bitch about something…🤔🤷‍♂️

[@eviedechant]

@@clarkallen4541 the officer actually said some told him that he. “Like to have got hit” means he could have or almost got hit. In other words he was gripping to the officers about something that had not even happened

[@FloridafishingwithRick]

That's the part of being a professional. I grew up fishon the navarre pier. I've seen plenty of people get hooked that way. The pros always look behind em to make sure no ones around. But... it's a fishing pier. There's danger out there for everyone walking and fishing. And if that guys feathers got ruffled over that he may wanna find a new career. Out there making himself look like a goofball.

[@CMDAVISs]

I would rather someone overhand cast . Sideways people next to you. If you arnt fishing dont go around people with poles. This whole world just wants to create issues because they don't like somthing . I mean they even have groups of people that particularly are against ski boats and tried to fight against them saying they shouldn't exist. People just need to mind there own business when you don't even need to come near me if you don't like it walk.

[@FloridafishingwithRick]

Exactly. I've always said it's social media. They rarely say anything in person, but when they get home and on Facebook boy it's on! Lol. Be safe out there man.

[@billysmith3526]

Perhaps he should try needlepoint instead 🤣

[@KBosch-xp2ut]

Agree. Good post. Walkers also have a responsibility to not get in the way of someone about to cast. Everyone just needs to be more aware and courteous of others.

[@xmu69]

At the pier here in fl where im at you cant over hand when everyone's around. But you can do a decent swing and flick

[@davidherr2592]

There is no law that says you can’t overhand cast… Yup, the Google confirmed it. 🔥🤣🥜

[@RockPolitics]

One bad Badge tarnishes the reputation of a hundred good ones. This is definitely one of the bad ones. The problem is, if you report him his superior will defend that behavior. People like this don't understand that their role is to enforce the rules/laws, not to make up new ones of their own.

[@HH-zg8zm]

This is true but no worries you can't let it hold you back . The Karen's are every where . Just laugh 🤣 and keep going. The only thing in life you can't fix is stupid 😂😂👍

[@josephlassiter6896]

A lot of them are like that. Even worse when they wash out as a real peace officer and get a shirt and a cell phone instead of a badge.

[@BryanWRowe]

The only written rule for casting on Gulf Shores Pier applies to Sabiki rigs. In this case I'd have asked to see the rule the officer was referring to. There is nothing prohibiting overhand casting of lures or bait on this pier.

[@BeamsOutdoors]

Yeah that's what i read on the website

[@johngibby]

The cops are always riled up over there during the summer time. Especially if you're an out of towner, they make a lot of money on nitpicky citations.

I guess, the "pedestrians" should only be allowed on the first section of the pier past the office and fisherman past that. That officer was certainly a hot head. Fishing and elevated stress don't go together.

[@RT42069]

There's a pier in Sandbridge, VA that's kinda like that. There's a white line towards the end, and those who aren't fishing aren't allowed past it.

[@billtribble7197]

i think the officer/park turd has a nasty attitude because he recently found out his grand daddy is his daddy.

[@jaredkerr7993]

How dare yall over hand cast on a fishing pier lol 😆 wow that cop needs some CBD send him a link, nice fishing guys🤙

[@FlyingMedic92]

So the only rule on that pier is no overhand casting sabiki rigs and like an added written in request to not overhand cast gotcha plugs. Its a fishing pier. The ones who are fishing pay more then the ones who just use it for sight seeing. Perfect example of who do you want to accommodate, the person spending $10 or the person spending $2. More then likely the person complaining is on vacation, and wont be back any time soon, so the options are tell the sightseers hey youre on a fishing pier you have to watch out, or threaten to kick out the people who spend more money, multiple times a week there. Security guy just wants to pat his ego, and didnt really think his actions out. He just seen an opportunity to go flex and look important. If guys like him continue to behave like that,all its going to do is drive the fishermen, who spend more money there, to somewhere else. Its bad enough they are dragging their feet fixing the pier. Alabama is having a really hard time finding a balance of supporting tourism and supporting the locals who live there. Continue to mistreat the locals and soon there are no locals, no one to run the tourism no one to keep places open in the "off season"

[@brandyward5455]
