Pier?

Is the pier repaired yet? I think the end of it was still off the last time I visited. I plan on fishing there a couple nights when I am down.

I don't think it will get repaired... they're planning a replacement pier.

This is some info from Half Hitch Tackle - Dan Russell Pier on Panama City Beach:

"Yes, the end of the pier is closed off 100 feet past the bath house, but the rest of the pier is open. The City of Panama City Beach, who owns the pier, is in the process of designing and permitting a new Pier this should be done by fall at which time they will tear down the old Pier and build a new one. The construction should take 12-18 months. "

Good luck - post some pics when you get back!

Hurricanes Dennis and Ivan damaged it in 2004 and 2005. The Dan Russell has been around for many years. It's been repaired and upgraded after hurricane damage in the past... but, not after these most recent.

I'll see if I can find out more info.

I wonder why they won't repair it if they just spent all that time and money on the parking lot across the street?

We went out on the Dan Russell Pier the last time we were down. There was a big gaping hole in the middle right past the bath house. And wasn't the entire end of it gone or was it??? I plan on going out on it again this time if it is open still when we get there.
