Morning between 6-10....or Evenings from 4 - ??? whenever the fish stop biting.
I recently moved out of Florida and back to Texas because the fishing is really TERRIBLE from the peirs, and I wasn't rich enough to buy a boat in Florida and still pay a mortgage.
What I mean by Terrible, there may be 20 people fishing from the Peir, and only 1 catches a Grouper or something worthwhile. (Yes, you can catch little pin fish and fun for kids, but if you're a serious fisherman and don't have money, Move to Texas....someplace like RockPort, TX, the best fishing from Shore!!)
If you have money, the guys that have a boat claim Florida is the best fishing in the world, but if you can't get out there, the problem you're going to find is that the water is TOO CLEAR, and the fish can spot your tackle, line, etc. I went fishing off of a Pier nearly every day, and only caught 3 regulation sized fish that I could take home and eat. Caught hundreds of fish that were just an inch or so too small....so I was disapointed with all of the Florida Hype.
The best you can hope for is a group of Blue Fish or Mackeral Frenzy....days are few and far between. And even then, the fish are too Small!! But Best in the Mornings or Evenings.... 6-10AM or 4 - ??? PM
I wish you the Best of luck....and when you get tired of wasting your time...remember RockPort.

I just came back from some tarpon fishing in the Keys. I don't know about pier fishing but I've always done well from March through July.

Early in the morning when the sun is just about to rise, like 5 Am. till 7 or 8, A.m. Why? Because there is no one there, but you and the sun and the fish

starting in April/May and continuing into November would be the best.

Any day or month that ends in "y" is best.
