I visited Pensacola last week and fished at the pier as well...if you want to catch as many fish as you can then you can't go wrong with sabiki rig. You will need a 7' pole with 15lb line. Just throw out the line and jig the line. I would stock up the sabiki rig since spanish macks will cut through your hooks like butter if they are biting. There are lots of ladyfish there as well and they are fun to catch. I had 2 poles with me the 15' one where I just put a bait on it and throw it out and let it sit and while waiting I either fished for macks or just anything out there with my sabiki rig. I caught a 3-4' nurse shark with my 15' pole early in the week.
You only pay $7.50 for an all day fishing pass. Bring a cooler if you want to keep the fish. Have fun!
