Too early for Pier fishing?
Sorry to be making another thread. Just dont want to be going off topic. I've two beaches and a pier within my 5k but I'm not equipped well enough for the beaches. Was wondering if spinning or floating from the pier would produce any results this early. Thanks very much

Re: Too early for Pier fishing?
You could surely float/bottom fish from the mark you have in mind. Usually around this time of the year I expect codling, whiting, flounder, dabs, dogfish from my local(although I've been blanking on 100% of sessions this year
). There's always some sort of species available from piers!

2019 species: codling, whiting, flounder, dab, dogfish, spurdog, sole, smooth hound, bass
2020 species: codling, dab, whiting, flounder, dogfish, turbot, smooth hound, bass
2021 species: flounder, black goby, dogfish, smooth hound
2022 species: dogfish, smooth hound
2023 species: flounder
2024 species: dab, smooth hound, flounder, bass
2020 species: codling, dab, whiting, flounder, dogfish, turbot, smooth hound, bass

2022 species: dogfish, smooth hound
2023 species: flounder

Peir fishibg is all year round if you ask me.
Handy way to start. Drop a 3 hook flapper right down by the wall wheres any cracks or kelp, very small hooks and bait.
