Send Pier#er a pm and hire him for the surf, pier, or jetty guide.

Go to the pier with David (aka Pier#er) and have fun. He will tell you what tackle to bring.

If you can get David to guide you, you will not only learn a lot about salt water fishing, but you will make a new and treasured friend. Give him a call.

+1 on #er, you may also be able to go catch you a few of those "Red Snapper" if the weather cooperates.

I can promise you that all you need to do is hook into one king on the pier, and you will never want to look at another bass again.
I figure it this way, if everyone in the world had a lie clock, whose hands moved once every time they lied. You could use any politicians lie clock as a ceiling fan.

+1 on getting hooked on pier fishing. The pier is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your'e gonna get. Bass (spinning combos) will work for specs, flounder, pompano, whiting, slot reds, spanish and other smaller fish. An 8ft catfish combo with 20-30lb line will suffice for kings, bull reds and jacks. Go to J&M Tackle in Orange Beach and get a bait ribbon net, 5 gallon bucket with and aerator, and pick up some live shrimp and bull minnows. Get a spool of 30lb sevenstrand uncoated wire, a box of Size 4 4X bronze treble hooks and size 10 swivels to make king leaders. Hire Mr. Thornton for a few hours to show you what to do with the stuff you got from J&M. He's that guy that you stand next to with the identical bait and rigging and he limits out and you get skunked. Spray your reels with Reel Magic and let it dry before you come down. Rinse them at the end of every days fishing or you will ruin them. Congratulations and good luck.

1 tip for kings you need a reel that will hold least 300 yards (mono with braid backing)

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
