I have been fishing this area 3 times this year and all I have got to report out of it is a SRC follow on a spoon, several hand sized flounder and bullheads galore. Anyone got any tips on this fishery, I am not necessarily in search of salmonoids here I just want to hook something bigger than my hand.
I find myself fishing it often as it is pretty kid friendly, and when I got the 3 year old in tow my fishing spots get limited quickly.
I am thinking of just taking a stiff pole, my waders, and some shrimp and bottom fish out there. Tips appreciated.

bring some sandies and fish for perch off the pier. Sounds good, but what should I run for depth and setup? Or I can just experiment I am not saltwater fisherman for sure but trying to give it a try.

Thanks Sebastes, that was very helpful. I sort of was running the same idea last week, but everything landed was bullhead in the 4 to 6 inch range. Will give it another try, he loves the beach. I am really looking forward to hitting a fish bigger than my hand for my son. Thanks, again.

just don't use sand worms for bait, in case Mr. Warden comes by

Cheapskate,
Thanks for the note, I did not know they were no longer legal as bait. Where is it in the regs?
Things have changed so much in the 46 years I've lived in Washington, the regs have become so complicated it has taken some of the joy out of fishing. yeah, its a bummer not being legal to harvest those worms for bait anymore. Plus, we need to wait 2 years until the next rule change cycle, if we want to try to remove/modify the prohibition Here's the snippets from the 2010 regs: "New for 2010: ... No Harvest of unclassifi ed Marine Invertebrates - We are committed to conserving all marine life including species such as sea stars, shore crab, and Pacifi c graceful crab. To protect these resources, harvest is no longer permitted. You can still continue to collect and remove relic shells, but you cannot remove oyster shells from the beach." See also page 132 of the regs that identifies some of the unclassified marine invertebrates that are illegal for harvest, including marine worms

Thanks, I went out again and no luck with anything big. Did hook a bigger sculpin, different species than what we were normally catching but still not that big. It guthooked itself, didn't make it.
I was using a good amount of weight and size 1/0 and 2/0 hooks and shrimp. Did see a large flounder about 3' long, maybe something else it was semi wide and had some length but was a bit deep to make a positive id. Got scared up and swam away off the pier. Lots of crabbers though, not alot of crab kept.
