Get yourself an empty soda can, some fishing line, a few spark plugs and mussel off the pilings and you should be all set. :LOL: Just messing with ya.

I haven't fished off the pier in years, but I do know every year, large halibut are caught off the pier on brown bait (queen fish) and smelt. You should be able to find a million sand crabs underneath the pier. Using a light C-Rig and sand crabs, you should have no problem catching perch, croakers and possibly some corbina. There are a LOT of SNGF in that area as well as some large leopards. If you want to have a battle, strips of squid or mini-mackerel should do the trick.
