You can at least get a king mackerel. Maybe a cobia or a shark
For your heaver I'd recommend something between 12 and 15 feet and stiff as Hell so you can heave 8 ounces of weight and sliding a good pound or two down it
Put a good reel on there just to heave
Spool it with #20-#30 line
Put a shock leader of #50-#80 mono on there
Then get a stiff ass rod about 6 feet long
If it's rated for less than 80 pound test it's not strong enough
Get a reel that can hold 400 yards or more of #50 mono and get 400 yards of #50 mono on there in high vis yellow
Now you're ready for rigging
Get an anchor weight and 3 or four "clothes pins"
Now tie a rig that goes something like this
>Swivel>3-5 feet of #100 mono>Swivel>1-3 feet of #5 single strand wire>2/0 octopus hook>4-5 inches wire>#2 treble>4-6" wire>#2 trebelNow then take your heaver and tie on your anchor weight
Set it in the sand and get the rest set up
Tie that rig on to your fighting rod
Put the "clothes pin" in the eye of the upper swivel
Catch a bluefish about the size of the one to the right in that pic
Put The octopus hook just behind the head, the first treble half way down, then depending on length either let the last treble hang free or hook it in (that's up to you to decide)
Stand your heaver straight up (I put mine in a length of pvc pipe bunjee corded to the pier) and reel Its line tight
Freespool your fighting line until the bluefish is just in the water (maybe two or three feet) and he'll swim around in circles and splash around
You'll either get a king mackerel, cobia, or shark
Now then you have two choices
Either have a pier gaff or beach the bastard
Have fun and thank me later
