Winter pier fishing

Are the reds around during December and January? What kind of live bait can you catch during that time to catch reds? I just didn't know if the LY's are still around during the cold weather.

Pick up bait at J M's. Not much bait around during the winter.

What kind of live bait would they have during that time of year (for reds)?

in my experiance you cand beat a 6 inch curly tail jig with a 3/4 ounce jighead for catching surf bulls

I catch my own pinfish in a pinfish trap or cast net or i use mullet cut into chunks (2inchs) the heads work alot better its got alot more stank to it.... i'm sure J&M will have some kinda bait for ya just ask and they hook you up :fishing: :headbang:

Thanks guys for the help. I'm just wanting to find a good way to spend time with my son during his last winter before heading to college. He's really gotten into saltwater fishing since we moved back to Alabama from Atlanta.
