I'm going camping this weekend in rockport and they have a 300' lighted pier. Was thinking of doing some fishing in the evening and into the night. What baits should I use for this? Preferably something I can just pick up at a local bait shop.

this will be in copano bay

Thanks

Both will usually work. I seem to get bigger fish by targeting the areas at the edges of the light.

I have used the spec rigs with the double glow in the dark plastics. You can get them either at walmart or pretty much any bait stand. Walmart will be cheaper. Never caught anything big but definitely caught quantity. Good Luck

a fly always seems to work best, small shrimp and clousers.
