They will be around the pilings. Use a small strong hook and as little weight as you can get by with and still control the bait.
For bait, depending on the feeding mood, in order of preference: live shrimp, ghost shrimp, fiddler crabs, hermit crabs and FRESH dead shrimp will work. And by fresh I mean never been frozen.
None at pier yesterday, but they were thick at the pass
ok so I will try some live shrimp at the pier this weekend, what other stuff are yall catching?
Good luck finding bait
