says:Fishes surprisingly well for a populated area. Now it’s lit at night squid are possible, otherwise use your noggin as to what may work. Bloodworms are by far the best bait given their location adjacent, whiting, bream, flathead and rays are all good targets. Gar are also present on the protected side during light winds.
