Bull Reds, Spanish Mackerel. First two I can think of in august.

If he's interested, he could probably still catch spadefish, which are great for kids, and the bluefish still bite that time of year.

Yeah, bluefish and ladyfish are usually 'strong' in August :headbang:
Kings not so much, but everything else just about is on the table.
Last year in August we had a phenomenal few days with some rather large white trout. :banana:

Ya never go until you go! :fishing:

Thanks for the info, will bass fishing gear work on the pier?

Yep, for most of the smaller and inshore species mentioned. :fishing:
You might even land a fair sized redfish on bass tackle with a moderate drag setting to tire the fish.
Just rinse with fresh water after use and you should be fine.
