pier fishing
Casting from jetties
Pier fishing is angling done from a pier—a structure extending into water from shore.
Piers offer access to deeper water without a boat, attracting species that congregate around pilings: We spent the morning pier fishing for mackerel.
Public fishing piers are common along coastlines, often requiring permits or small fees.
