I am mostly a live bait guy too, and having a peeler or two on hand is great advice, for either the larger perch or the occasional striper. Go UNDER the piers in the dark deep places. That's where the perch definitely are where there's a hard or sandy bottom. If it's lower tide, they'll be near the end of the pier, if it's higher tide, they'll be about in the middle. Razor clams work great too as an alternative to bloodworms, and they are $6.75 at Angler's, whereas bloodworms are $10 +. You can also freeze clams for the next trip too, just keep 'em cold.
Anglers usually has the peelers for $2 a piece, which is a bargain in my book. Had good luck w/ the kastmaster shiny metal lure too, but I use it more as a surface lure when the gulls are around for breaking fish. Talk about action! They hit it hard. There's a special technique of jigging the kastmaster going down slower that I haven't mastered yet, if you can locate a school of rock.
