if your fishing for chub iwould personally recommend fishing the bottom with a cube of luncheon meat or worm as mentioned before.
for pike i would only really recommend dead baits in the cold winter, pike become lazy when its cold so lures and spinners are not normally as effective, a roach deadbait or a sea deadbait like mackerel or lamprey will do the trick.

Cant really add to what barnshaw said mate.
Take a flask of tea or coffee with you if your out all day as it makes a big difference having a warm drink if your fishing all day in this weather

i go sea fishing a lot, usually from piers or the beach. Although im not brilliant at it, got all the gear, know the techniques and the knowledge is there, but for some reason i never seem to catch anything  My best ever fish was a 5Ib Sea Bass I caught in Portsmouth Harbour. But i mainly do it to relax. And im a bit of a fair weather fisherman too
