Baits- I like to carry several baits live and cut- live shrimp,live pinfish,crabs and cut or strips of squid,shark belly,misc cut fish.
Gear- large cooler,pier net,bait bucket,bait net,asst lures got cha's,jigs,slip corks,soft plastics,mono leader and fluorocarbon leaders,wire,knives,good chair.This is just some of the things I like to carry while fishing piers.
Bridge net can be a life saver.
for sure mine had been well used
the pld way was the bridge gaff but last several years it has been by net!
Plus I take several rods ready rigged just in case a foul up or break and I can switch over fast.Plus those extra spools make for quick changes if needed!
