And if you don't want to pay hundreds for charters, you can fish off the pier by using a spinnerbait (I've had success with all silver blade and gold + silver blade) for pike and smallmouth. For salmon, use a blue + silver kastmaster spoon (you can fish it like a flutter spoon or simply cast and retrieve). You can also use bread or corn to catch carp. I don't like using live worms since I don't have any success with them and the only thing you're catching with live worms are round gobys. However, you're not going to be catching Salmon in every season, I've had my success in mid to late July. Pike and Smallmouth I haven't figured out yet, they just bite here and there. Heaviest line possible you could use is 12 pound test mono or fluoro, anything above that is probably unnecessary and you may spook fish like Salmon with good eyesight. Always go 12 pound test or lighter (probably eight to four).
