I will be headed down to Gulf Shores next month for a family vacation and my 6 year old son wants to fish in the Gulf. I am an avid bass fisherman here in East Texas but don't know the first thing about saltwater fishing. Is there a saltwater equivalent of perch jerking? The place we are staying is very near the fishing pier so I thought that might be something we could try but I don't know what to expect or try. I do know I don't want to take him fishing and get skunked (I know it is fishing and that is always a possibility)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jason
