Checkout TCHunter's post about saltwater fishing up in the stickies at top of this forum. Lots of great advice. Other than that be sure to give a good fresh water rinse to whatever tackle and equipment you use at end of each day of fishing.

Honestly you can use the same things you bass fish with. I don't have much luck from the beach, but if you can get on a pier here's a few things I really wear them out with--
1. 3/8 oz jig head with some sort of "shrimp tail" grub. Gotcha makes what they call a "Shrimp Tail", you can order from TackleDirect, I use the white w/ pink tail. Just swim/pump it right under the surface. 2. Big flutter spoon, like 6" or so. 3. Jerkbait. These are sometimes hard to throw and get much distance with off a pier, but I catch tons when I can. 4. Spro bucktail jig (you can normally find at Walmarks. Pink is best, but I don't know how much the color matters. 5. Gotcha plug. Frankly I don't like these, but everybody throws it and they will chomp on it. 6. Bubble / straw rig. I don't totally understand this thing, but all the guys on the end of the pier will be throwing it. You can buy them at Walmarks anywhere at the beach.

The past two/three times we've gone (either Orange Beach or Panama City) I've caught some nice fish off the pier with that big flutter spoon (some bigger than average Spanish and Blues, one King that ultimately broke my line, and I had a GARGANTUAN tarpon roll on it and either eat it or or got foul hooked, but that sucker broke my line in about 5 seconds).
I usually rig up a small Carolina rig or split shot rig and get some live shrimp too, but I never catch squat on it...seems like the peckers will just steal your bait.

Be sure to wash off your rod and reel with freshwater when you're done, to help prevent rust. A soft-bristle brush could help, too.

Metalmuncher your little envelope is blinking. That thing has been blinking for 8 months now. I think I added to much blinker fluid and blew a seal. Thanks for the PM. Just now read it and replied.

This is probably the best lure ever for pier fishing I like that. They're already filleted when you get them on the deck. They make one for Crappie? It’s more for crowded places where folks are casting over you constantly
Yeah cmon. Daniel White

Hoping to head off shore Monday to celebrate Confedefate Memorial Day and a day off!! You trolling or bottom fishing? Either way, I hope you keep your lines stretched almost to the breaking point. I consider Jefferson Davis the father of my country.
