Pier fishing takes mastery and skill that not everyone possesses. They have intuitive senses of where to take their line. If fisherman don't know where the fish are located, they can't get bites. How this skill is acquired is a mystery.
Pier anglers use odd techniques, but they can land some awesome catches. Strange handmade devices are sprinkled on the pier. These are designed in order to keep the live bait just below the water's surface. Kite rigs and the "two rod approach" are also commonly used by these creative innovators. In the two rod approach, a small rod is used for the bait, so they heavier one can get the fish in.
The biggest difference is the purpose for catching big fish. It would be a rare occasion when pier catchers would return a catch because they do it for dinner, not just to take pictures. They want to showcase their fish in their bellies! Pier fisherman have an undeniable skill and boldness.
