I've been fishing there the past few times and really enjoy it. I just haven't had much luck. Was wondering if anyone is going tonight that might be able to show me what I am doing wrong? New to the sport but am hooked. pardon the pun.

Try putting fishing line on your reel next time.

 

[vabeachnewguy]

Oh, So that's it. To be serious I meant like what is a better bait to use or hooks.

 

[rhino7628]

I hardly use bait anymore. I use a rattle trap lure.

I have found the people in the tackle store at the end of the pier a great help, as well as asking someone you see catching fish. A polite "You're getting some great catches, would you mind sharing your secret?" Most fisherman on a pier are happy to give the info and some will even share some of their bait. If you ask at most any tackle store, (Lighthouse tackle would be the closest) they can tell you all the info (hook size, bait, artificials etc) and sell you some if you want. Good Luck.
