bassin, here's a surefire way to catch sole. Get yourself one of those metal crappie rigs and tie on a couple of 2/0 hooks. Then put on the appropriate size weight on the bottom of the rig; usually a 3 ouncer is fine. All you need for bait is earthworms, just rig them on the hook like you would for trout and it knocks them dead. No kidding! I use Sole for bait when I am fishing for Lingcod and I have found this method to be the quickest for catching Sole. Use anything smaller than a 2/0 hook and you will be digging down deep in their stomache for the hook. Just let the rig hit the bottom and reel up a couple of cranks. Good luck!
