Depends on what you're fishing for.
Some species, e.g. Flounder, you'd be good fishing under the pier and around/in between the pilings.
The same would not be true for Kings.
What do you want to target?Ragnar Benson:

I've caught speckled trout fishing straight down in the shallows, and that's where the flounder are, but most other fish are caught casting out so you cover more water.

One note: even for kings, you don't really need to cast a mile. I've hooked (and choked
) more kings within 30 yards of the pier than way out at the end of a long cast.

I saw a guy fishing a large sabiki just off the octi and snagged a couple Spanish. Is this routinely successful and, if so, is this considered bush league?

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!
