Best pier for single day fishing for visitor?
Going to be visiting Biloxi/Gulfport area next week and want to visit a fishing pier before I go. Are any of the piers more visitor friendly than the others or am I going to be dealing with a bunch of people mad that someone new is trying to fish a spot?

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the Ocean Springs Fishing Pier for its beautiful views of the Biloxi skyline and its well-maintained condition. It's a relaxing spot for a walk, fishing, or enjoying a picnic. Some note that fishing success can vary, and visiting at night is recommended for the best photographic opportunities.
"We paused here to take some photos of Biloxi from the other side. It was a blistering hot day in late July so there weren't many people on the pier, just a young couple in love out for a walk. and a young grandma fishing with her 3 grandchildren. We had a wonderful view of the people wading and I was surprised there are gentle waves here, as there is minimal wave action on Biloxi Beach. The center of the pier has some picnic tables with welcome shade. Everything was clean and well-maintained. I felt it was worth a visit and a highlight of our trip through the area! There is a small playground on the other side of the street and I saw a few moms and kids playing there on our way back to the car."
