I have fished Pensacola, Navarre, OIP, and Panama City piers for 45 years and have even written books on fishing our local piers. First of all, it is possible to catch sailfish and king mackerel with lures such as XRaps, super pogeys, and spoons. Personally, I would use live bait that is almost always available to catch at the piers. Frozen cigar minnows is a great second option. Barracuda do hang around our piers but seldom eat anything that you throw to them. They usually wait until an angler hooks an king or bonita, and will chomp that in half. Cobia fishing in April and tarpon fishing in July are my favorites.
