In all honesty I generally fish ocean view or va. Beach piers. While I'm trying to catch cobia I haven't had any luck yet. I did see a few before the season started on June 15th but they seem to have moved on for the moment. I have caught several big cow nosed rays and a few sharks the largest of which was about 3 feet. I also caught my first Spanish mackerel off the va. Beach pier and a few gray and speckled trout off both piers but they are few and far between. Of course the spot and croaker are always around but most are on the small side.

Its been a while since ive been bass fishing. That being said my go to lure for big bass was always a black broken back jitterbug fished in shallow water right near a drop off. Most of my biggest bass were caught that way.

Don't you know nobody ever catches anything off of any pier except bait stingrays and sharks at night. If the fishing is good most pier fishermen want to keep that info to themselves so the pier doesn't get overcrowded. Remember all fishermen are liars lol. That being said I haven't fished buckroe yet so I don't know for sure.
