Tell us all more. How much time on the pier and how many trout? I would imagine if didn’t use bait you could avoid the crabs and pest fish. Maybe fishing with shrimp (off the bottom though so not losing them to crabs) would get action, but just casting good lures (mirrolures, little plugs, silver spoons, etc) should get the trout and maybe even have chance at other gamefish. Mackerel might be around, and a lot of other types should be migrating. Keep casting!
We were just out looking at what was going on couple hours ..afternoon they were using shrimp.. and fish bites shrimp .. some had bloodworms couple people had 2-3 fish one guy was hitting them often .. he had maybe 12 or more
