Mine used to be King Mackerel.  There is something very special about seeing a King throwing a cigar minnow to him and working him up.   Like hand feeding a wild animal.   I still like it, but,

My favorite fish to fish for from a pier is Pompano in clear water.   I love to see them coming down the beach and pitch a jig to them.   That has become my favorite fish to sight fish for in our area.    To be completely honest I would rather see them coming in 1s ,2s and 3s than in large schools, it seems more rewarding to fool a single than have a whole school chase a jig.  I love that stuff.

What is your favorite fish to fish for from a pier?

ling is my favorite...when you get first shot on one it is an awesome feeling

second is tarpon...watching them eat is really cool

third is kings...seeing a big pop up out of no were and eat you is pretty cool

Dude, if you can vouch me and help me catch some grouper off the pier ( when season opens up ), would be grateful. If you do any surf fishing, I'll give you one of my heavy duty spikes

I like the pompano answer.

For me, I have to say 5-8 lb. Chicken dolphin. Because they don't come often, when you hook 'em they go batshit crazy and run like hell.

Second would be Bo-Bo's on light tackle when they come in super shallow. No where to go but out, & they run like hell to get there.

Nothing like a monster jack crevelle to test your muscle and your tackle. Not the trophy feeling of catching a gulf coast game fish but ya get what you came out there for....screamin drag and a bowed up rod.   

And in the days that followed the islanders came to know him as kane mano, the shark hunter.......

Croaker and Pinfish

When I was a kid, our biggest thrill was fishing off Ft. Pickens at night fer shark...Also throwing the nets on big pods of squid, them jokers were fun to bring up squirting that ink everywhere.....BoBo's off the pier are always fun too!!!  Heck anything big that would run down all the other lines going over and under

Learn to post like the pro's from the Official PFF Po-Po!

Because our family is growing every day, newer folks should learn to post their threads w/ pics correctly without having to click on each picture

This does not work w/ all browsers...Those not using Internet Explorer may have to go to a photo gallery of sorts to load their pics...  you can use this free photo gallery by PFF : http://www.forumpictureprocessor.com/pictureprocessor/default.asp?reason=You%20Are%20Logged%20Out!

Step 1: When in your body of the thread look at the bar above that looks like this :::            IFCode

Step 2:  Click on the icon that looks like      

Step 3:  A new window will open up and click BROWSE to find your pic, then up load it.

Step 4:  If your are posting more then 1 pic, after every picture finishes loading hit the enter button to move the cursor back to the far left (underneath the last picture poster) so pictures will not load side by side taking up more area (having to scroll right to read and see pics)

Step 5:  When you are finished loading your pics and your body of your thread is complete, post it

POSTING YOUTUBE VIDEO's:  (compliments of jim t)

When you post, at the bottom of the window there are two buttons saying "Design" and "HTML" . I write my post, when I want to insert the video I switch to "HTML" then paste the "Embed code" off the youtube page, then switch back to "design" When you switch into "HTML" you'll get some wierd coding on what you have already posted, but when you switch back to "Design" it will apperar normal and the video will pop up.

P.E.T.A.   PLEASE CHECK OUT MY GALLERY

I Would have to say Cobia is my favorite. Like Ben said, there is no other feeling like having a first shot! pompano would have to be my second, especially in super clear water.

hands down tarpon. they can be so hungry and sometimes they'll eat anything, but tricking spooky, picky fish... simply no better feeling than that moment when time seems to stand still between seeing them eat, setting with every ounce of energy you can find in you, and the almost immediate jump or walk. might only be 1.5 seconds, but it seems like 3 minutes in my mind and those memories are burned in my head forever.

My favorite is spanish mackerel.  Part of the fun is that I also catch kings, reds, big black drum and a bunch of other things while going for the spanish, using casting spoons I either made or customized.
