Last time I tried making bait at the pier was with Bert. We were there for maybe 10 minutes before a lifeguard (i'm assuming) on a jet ski came over and told us to leave. We didn't feel like arguing with the guy so we did. I might start bringing a hard copy of the regs with me for situations like that (so kayak fisherman's hard work in settling the politics behind the battle weren't in vain). The bait moves so much, sometimes the pier is the ticket to finding it.
