Title: Des Moines Pier
Post by: hawksfan75 on July 22, 2011, 11:44:53 PM: I was just wondering if there's any chance in hell of getting a fish from the Des Moines pier? I don't have a boat or friends with one, so I am stuck on the shore. If the pier is not good, are there any other shore places I might be able to catch a salmon from the shore?

Fought it for about 30 minutes before it broke me off on the pilings.
