Title: Fishing in White Rock
Post by: Gronan on May 03, 2014, 07:46:32 PM

Hi Everyone,

We are planning a crab-fishing day in White Rock soon, on foot, with a bunch of non-angler friends.
Two of us would like to try as well to fish from the pier or the beach for flounder, soles ...
I'm really unfamiliar with this type of fishing, so any advice on what technique/bait to use, what fish to target -which is the easiest, which gives the best fight, which would be the best to eat- would be very welcome !

Thanks !

Shrimps work really well at ambelside and should work the same there.

Thank you guys.

For what I read, bottom fishing, or maybe jigging, for flounders and other flat fish, and if I'm no mistaking, rockfish and lingcod must be released (should not even be targeted).
Well, let's hope we can have fun with some starry flounders !
