Fishing Tips

Check the tide. Moving water can carry baitfish past the pier and along nearby channels. Tide timing is often more useful than simply choosing a particular time of day.

Bring a simple bottom rig. Shrimp and cut bait are practical starting points for pier fishing. Adjust sinker weight to the current and avoid letting your rig drift into other anglers' lines.

Prepare for changing conditions. Wind, current, and boat traffic can affect where and how you fish. Keep extra hooks, weights, and leader material handy.

Be considerate of other anglers. Give people room to cast, keep tackle organized, and avoid blocking the walkway.
