Fishing is a popular pastime on many US beaches. What is a type of saltwater fish commonly caught from piers or by wading (flounder, redfish, etc.)?

Northern California and farther up to Alaska: Ling Cod, Halibut

On the Pacific: Southern California:White Sea Bass, bass of many varieties, Sheepshead, Yellowtail, Sculpin, Barracuda and Halibut

On the Atlantic side of Florida, Tarpon, Permit and Snook are popular

Why do so many people seem to hate Nickelback? They're competent and entertaining, and while they certainly aren't the absolute best music, they're still a fun listen.

Further up the Atlantic coast, Tilefish, Stripers, Makerel, Skate and Whiting.

In the Gulf of Mexico, wading out for Flounder gigging is common. Fishing from the beach or piers is good for Pompano, Red and Black Drum,Speckled Trout, Sheepshead and sometimes Snapper. There are many other fish caught, but they generally aren’t targeted species.

Bear in mind, there are many other pelagic species that require a boat. This list is by no means complete. I’m sure others can add to it.
