After reading all of these posts I need to reorder my points for an ideal fishing pier...
First and foremost is restrooms! At a minimum mid-pier, but preferably some at 1/3 down the pier and another set 2/3 of the
way to the end. I had forgotten how unpleasant it was on piers without restrooms, especially if people find their own alternate
solutions.
The rest of my pier desires remain the same... Water for cleaning things up (with 4-5 foot hoses would be ideal), bait cutting boards
(below the top rail preferably to hopefully keep the top rail clean). Fish cleaning stations. Plentiful trash cans and recycling bins. Adequate
lighting.
Overhead shelter/shade is a great idea! It would also help to reduce overhead casting and make the pier more friendly during inclement
weather.
