Which bait?
My family will be down next week, staying at the Four Seasons and will be fishing off the pier there. What baits would ya'll recommend? Live bait, Gulp, Fishbites...?
We just want to catch fish, hopefully LOL

YOU decide, lots of options, plus it depends on which fish are present:
Looney Jigs & Bubble Rigs for spanish mackerel, bluefish, ladyfish and blue runner.
Fresh dead shrimp (& Fishbites) for whiting, pompano and maybe spadefish.
Live shrimp (mostly at night) for speckled trout, slot redfish & flounder.
Live bull minnows (anytime) for flounder.
Also Gulp will target flounder and slot redfish with a LOT of bycatch (ladyfish, bluerunner, etc.)
Good tip Tom! These two big fellas were screaming like girls when that happened to them last week... LOL
A Spadefish safety tip!
