New to Jetty and Pier Fishing

[bigcat131]

I'm new to fishing the Jetty's and the piers. I live in plantation and I'm trying to start fishing salt water. I'm an avid bass fisherman but its getting time to move on to bigger and better fish. If there are any tips or tricks that you can lend me it would be appreciated. I've tried all kinds of rigs and baits. I was fishing live pilchards on a drop leader at Hillsboro inlet this weekend and every time I would hook on to something they would run straight out the inlet and under the rocks and I would lose the fish. I really want to get into salt fishing and I'm willing to invest the time and money.

It sounds like you're doing everything right - just need to upsize the tackle. I use a minimum of 40 lb braid, 30 pound fluoro leader with reels set to 13 pounds of drag any time I fish live bait.
