Anybody ever fish this pier? I'm no pro, and don't have a boat so my stepson and I have just been going out on this pier every time we go to Galveston, but never really had great luck except for some gafftops and a few sandtrout. Usually the weather has been pretty crappy when we get down there, so its kinda been bad luck. We've been using fresh dead bait, anything from white squid, to shrimp, to cracked crab, to cut mullet.

Anybody have any tips on how to know when to go or what bait to use? Please help this beginner.
