Bottom rigs and Fee-lining baits are common presentations for pier fishing in Florida. Shrimp, pogies, squid, mud minnows, and blue runners are pretty standard bait options. For artificial i would use metal Gotcha plugs, buck-tails and soft plastics such as GULP or SALTWATER ASSASSIN with jig heads. If u go to the local bait and tackle shops around the piers, or Walmart, they should be able to tell you whats biting on what.
