The piers also tend to attract a lot of birds looking for the fishermen's leftovers. The Eau Gallie Pier is just behind the library and north of the Eau Gallie Causeway in Melbourne. It stretches out over the picturesque Indian River. You can see the bridge to your right. Besides the pier there are docks, 2 boat ramps, and couple of picnic tables at opposite ends of parking lot. The pier is perfect for wildlife watching, photography, fishing, and catching the sunset. Eau Gallie has a long history of fishing beginning with the Native Americans and continuing into the turn of the century when James Wadsworth Rossetter arrived in Eau Gallie in 1902 and became a leader in the local fishing industry. Todays sportsman continue to enjoy fishing for snapper, grouper and tarpon in the river. Best of all the parking and pier are both free. The Eau Gallie Historic Distric is steps away with restaurants, art, and shopping. Discoveries like this pier are just another reason to love Old Florida towns.

Nick is great during the sales process, and I think we got a fair deal. After the sale is a completely different story. We opted to purchase Boat n Motors "fully refundable" extended warranty. I wasn't sure I'd keep the boat for more than a few years, and asked whether the warranty was refundable. Nick said yes. Cancel anytime, so long as you don't use it, you'll get a full refund. Decided to sell the boat recently, and requested a full refund on the extended warranty, in person. Was told no problem, but after a month I didn't get a check. Called and was told it was in the mail. Two weeks later I stopped by again and heard "we will get right on that." Nothing. More calls from me, no response from Boat and Motors. More in store visits. Finally I get a partial refund, less than half the amount paid. I called several times and was told they'd sort it out and get back to me. No return calls. Zero. I stopped by 2 more time and was promised by Nick that he's sort it out. Nothing. Called more, zero return calls. Don't believe anything you're told by Nick, including his famous "I'll get right back to you." Get everything in writing and read the small print. Don't believe anything you're told.

Service is great, welcoming and not annoyed if you're from out of town -- at least we couldn't tell -- which is more than can be said about other tackle shops in other places. If you got a kid or first timer with you and you want to get them excited, head to Melbourne Beach Pier around sunrise and you're guaranteed to catch catfish nonstop, do yourself a favor after a couple and head to Kiwanis Park at Geiger Point to make the most of your time and get some drum (can't keep them at any size in the area) and snappers.
