Pier fishing takes mastery and skill that not everyone possesses. They have intuitive senses of where to take their line. If fisherman don't know where the fish are located, they can't get bites. How this skill is acquired is a mystery.

Though the techniques of pier anglers are odd, they land some great catches. Handmade devices are sprinkled on their pier. They are designed to keep live bait just below the water's surface. The "two rod approach" and kite rigs are also commonly used. In the double rod technique, a small rod is used solely for the bait so that the fisherman can use the heavier one to struggle and pull the fish in.

The biggest difference is the purpose for catching big fish. It would be a rare occasion when pier catchers would return a catch because they do it for dinner, not just to take pictures. They want to showcase their fish in their bellies! Pier fisherman have an undeniable skill and boldness.
