Hi all, nice to see a cam here at the pier. I am from Ohio and planning to come down in April for vacation. Anybody here local that can fill me in on the fishing here?……what to use, what to fish for? I have been reading about the Cobia, is that hitting down there on the pier? Not seeing many people out on the pier right now. Email me if you can help me out.

man i love having these web cams to look at. the zoom is awsome, the snap shot button is great for taking cool pics of something you see. this really is the next best thing if you cant go to the beach. i have ever web cam in the gulf shore-orange beach area on my desktop. cool tip: get the cams during sunrise if you can stay up late enough. it is really cool to watch the sun rise and reflect off the water from the east. the zeke’s marina cam has a great view. i do wish the pier that this cam is on had another on the other side. i watched as they were rebuilding this pier 2 years ago and stayed right down the beach from it. it would be cool if i could look down the beach and see the old place i stayed at. KEEP ADDING BEACH CAMS!!

Yes, Bobby it is great to look back and think “what if…”
The cam is a great tool for checking out the current conditions!
I remember you (from surfing in the 1970s) and believe you have some old friends @ http://www.dauphinislandsurf.com

Good to hear you’re doing well!

It’s nice to be able to look back at where I grew up surfing. Wish they had WebCam back in the day when I lived in Mobile and surfed at DI and the Gulf. Would have saved alot of highway time and gas money I didn’t have.
If anyone sees Joe Barnett, tell him Bobby (the Big Kahuna) in Virginia Beach, VA says HI!!!!!

I had the exact same problem with pier cam only on XP System. Uninstalled Java, reinstalled Java, problem resolved!
Computers, who knows?
Merry Christmas and Happy Fishing

EUREKA! I uninstalled Java and reinstalled and it now works. Looks like alot of others were having the issue as well and saw a post today on one of the pier forums where someone had uninstalled Java and reinstalled and it started working again. Don’t ask my why this is the only camera that Java wouldn’t work with but its not the camera… Mine works great now.

Ok, just tried this on my Windows Vista computer and it works but my Windows 7 computer doesn’t just for the pier feed. The other feeds work just fine, but pier feed doesn’t.

So basically, feed is working, just some incompatibality with my win 7 box and only with the pier feed. Don’t know why the others work but this one doesn’t.
