Sadly, most urban bulltrout and cutty populations with reasonable access are long gone due to pressure.  I doubt there's anywhere near Surrey that fits your description, and if there were, it wouldn't remain long after word got out on the internet. 

The tidal Fraser would be a good spot, Rodneys even written some good articles.

I went to richmond and tried salt water bull trout. I arrived an hour before sun set, because I have school in the morning. I was harder than I thought,.
I was using a spin rod with a 3/8 croc. plus it was really hard to cast while wind is blowing toward me, so I left just before sunset. Going to try again soon.

I'm heading out tomorrow and/or Sunday to try some spin casting for trout also.  Make sure you attach some split shot lead weights to your line, it'll help you cast.  You can experiment w/ how much and how close to place it to your croc. 
I'm giving the Alouette a try.

Definitely pay attention to the wind direction. I usually look out the window and check the weather website to see how strong the wind is and which direction it is coming from, before choosing where I want to fish. If it is blowing from south, I usually fish the north side of Richmond that lines along the Middle and North Arm. If it is blowing from north, I fish south arm from Richmond.
