Here is one last note on Ike. The picture shows a section of the Phase II pier that was removed by the high tide. The Phase II pier now has only two lights, but the rest of the pier is so damaged it is roped off and not available for use. I have no idea what plans there are for the future of this pier. Very few other piers along Fulton Beach Road had any damage. The Phase II pier was just too old and not well maintained. Maybe we will build a super pier in conjunction with Phase II. Of course, its not about the size or length of a pier. The lights make all the difference. There are people fishing right now off the crossbridge. They are catching good size croaker. They were there yesterday too. Since they drive up, I doubt that they are staying here. Actually, that area is part of the mitigation site and is supposed to be closed to fishing. Most people don't know what a mitigation site is or why we have one.
