THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO ALL OUR MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS PAST AND PRESENT. WITHOUT THEIR DEDICATION AND SACRIFICES I WOULD NOT HAVE THE FREEDOM TO BUILD IT.

     FISHING THE END OF THE PIER REQUIRES HEAVIER THAN NORMAL TACKLE, THOUGH SOME PEOPLE FISH FOR WHITING WITH 50 POUND TEST LINE. STORE BOUGHT RODS WILL DO BUT MOST USE CUSTOM RODS. THIS PAGE WILL SHOW AND EXPLAIN TACKLE. 

I BUY OLD FENWICK 2 PIECE RODS BASKET CASES CONSIDERED CALL 386 446 2467.

                                           CHINESE BAMBOO ROD AND REEL FINGER ACTION

            WHAT SHOULD I USE JUST FOR EVERYDAY FISHING?? (WHITING, BLUES, FLOUNDER, ETC.)

              PICTURED BELOW IS TOP  A SPINNING ROD & REEL, BOTTOM IS A CASTING SETUP

EASIEST TO THROW WITHOUT (BIRD NESTING) IS THE SPINNING SETUP. THE CASTING SETUP NEEDS REEL ADJUSTMENTS AND SOME THUMB CONTROL. BOTH NEED PRACTICE, REMEMBER YOU NOT ONLY WANT TO THROW FAR BUT MOST IMPORTANT TO THROW STRAIT. IF YOU ARE JUST STARTING AND YOU COME TO THE PIER AND SEE SOMEONE THROWING STRAIT AND FAR DON'T BE ASHAMED TO ASK FOR A FEW POINTERS. THEN GO TO A SPOT WHERE NOBODY IS AND PRACTICE. RODS SHOULD BE 5 TO 7 FOOT IN LENGTH AND TO BE OF MEDIUM TO MEDIUM LIGHT ACTION. FISHING LINE SHOULD BE ABOUT 20 POUND TEST AND YOU WILL NEED 2 TO 4 OUNCE SINKERS, SWIVELS, LEADER LINE AND SMALL HOOKS.

PICTURED ABOVE, (TOP RIG) LINE GOES THRU SINKER SLIDE, ADD PLASTIC BEAD THEN TIE TO SWIVEL. YOU TAKE 1 TO 2 FEET OF LEADER LINE AND TIE TO SWIVEL AND HOOK. SNAP PYRAMID SINKER TO SLIDE.

                               (BOTTOM RIG) LINE GOES THRU EGG SINKER, ADD PLASTIC BEAD THEN TIE TO SWIVEL. AGAIN 1 TO 2 FEET OF LEADER LINE AND TIE TO SWIVEL AND HOOK.

TO TIE A KNOT SLIP LINE THRU HOOK OR SWIVEL HOLE TWIST 7 OR 8 TIMES PUT END THRU LOOP AT HOOK OR  SWIVEL HOLD ON TO END AND PULL TIGHT.

GOOD BAIT FOR THESE SETUPS ARE LIVE OR FROZEN SHRIMP, LIVE OR FROZEN MULLET, SAND FLEAS AND CUT BAIT.

PICTURED ABOVE  ARE GOTCHA PLUGS (LEFT) AND SEA STRIKER PLUGS. THESE IS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WAY TO GET BLUE FISH AND SPANISH MACKEREL. OVER THE YEARS I ALSO HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER SPECIES OF FISH CAUGHT WITH THEM. THE IDEA IS TO CAST THEM OUT AND RETRIEVE IN A JERKING MOTION, THIS MAKES THEM ZIP SIDE TO SIDE CREATING A TARGET FOR AGGRESSIVE FISH.
