Shelter Island Pier
going to be staying very close to Shelter Island Pier this weekend. Any suggestions on tackle and bait. Taking a couple of kids and just want to catch a few fish. Also, any other areas around there in the harbor to catch fish?

All along that stretch is great for fishing spotted bay bass, sand bass, halibut, barracuda, mackeral, and occassional bonefish. Try using 3 - 4 inch grubs on 1/4 to 1/2 round jig heads. Best colors are silver flake, rootbeer, hot pink, white, and chartreuse with silver flake.
If you are using a boat, there are some structure by the navy base that has some sculpin along with bass swimming around them.
For bait fishing, try frozen anchovies, ghost shrimp, bloodworms, and frozen squid.
P.S. Be careful if you catch a mantis shrimp. They are capable of cutting off your finger if not careful with these cats.

i've had the most luck with frozen squid but more luck fishing off the rocks where the parking lot ends and where they launch the boats... remember there is another pier by the convention center and another pier on coronado island that is nice for the family
