Welcome fredneck!
How long are you staying?
Gotchas are primarily targeting mackerel which usually are just arriving here in early March.
Most folks like throwing them on 8#-12# mono (and fish for sheepshead with the same).
Just keep in mind lighter line will give you more casting distance but can increase the likelihood of a cutoff or breakoff as you lift a bigger fish from the water.
Light tackle (for whiting and pompano) can be 6#-8#.
No shark landings are allowed on the pier.
Hope this helps!
I use 8# on my 2500 series reels and 10# on my 4000 series. 15# on my king rods.
