By throwing it off the pier I am assuming you are looking for kings. In that case burn it, kings cant resist a flashing bait moving super fast. As soon as you stop it, most of the times kings will just turn away.

Great color too, I catch more fish on pink then any other color.

And if this doesn't work, try slash and burn. Reel as fast as you can while slashing the rod downward sharply! Also, don't fish too tight a drag if you're working it this way and a king hits it at 20-30mph that's gonna be A LOT of force!!!

Good luck!
