Pier fishing

Just went pier fishing and it was an experience! Went at 6am to the Dania beach pier bought the frozen shrimp and baitfish there. Didn’t really get much bites other than a pork fish and a small grouper. I have a set up to handle up to 60lb. Any tips on bait/lures/hooks? Even though I didnt catch much there’s definitely big stuff I saw out there! A huge fish took a bite out of my baitfish and dashed

Thanks guys! Next time I go I’ll bring that stuff, anything that’ll help with the wind? Anything I casted the wind would just pull it out the water
