  Ok, the sides were terrific...  All the guys crowded the end of the pier, especially  the northeast corner just for the companionship... 
Look I was there.

 I lived not far from the pier  in the early 80's...
 it was long ago  but my memory isn't that bad yet..  the  guys at the   sides of the pier  never saw the numbers the guys fishing the end saw, especially the NE corner which was THE hot spot... There were fish there along the sides, but the majority of the fish were caught on    on a fairly long cast off the end , and it was always like that..
 The end was ALWAYS crowded, and  most guys typically fished along the sides only if they could not find a spot on the end of the pier. Why even  bother fishing the sides??.. You might as well just fish off the jetty the was right along side the pier on the north side, and save the entrance fee...
