Else fishes from the beach here ?
If so what's to catch .
Thanks for any help.

You can catch smelts off the beaches with a net. They should be running in June.

You can cast out salmon trimmings on a bar fishing set up and catch dogfish, then scare tourists with them.

I would say dog fish too, pretty fun to catch and there seema to be an endless supply of them around Jericho

Thanks for the help guys after just getting back from
Surf fishing Cabo it sounds like Jericho might be a little
Quieter but still fun .

No problem, you can definetly get into other fish but not as abundent in that area. I have got into small lings off jericho dock also sole. I like to walk the beach a bit past the pier on the right side and cast out my rig, usualy get something  to bite.

Like Shawn mentioned, you'd be surprised how fished out the area directly around the pier is. If the water's deep enough/tide low enough, I'd suggest walking down the beach a bit and casting straight out as far as you can. Use prawns of sea worms for bait. You have a chance at catching bullhead, flounder, sole, surfperch and Whitespotted Greenling among other things in that area. Good luck!

Well hope to be trying my luck in the next few weeks .
I've just ordered this bad boy .
Sling Shot 1505 from Century ,not read really sure if its
Over kill for the beach but it will allow me some distance.

There are always the crabs. You can also go for shiners with hand line.

Would you guys suggest going at any tide/time if you wanted to get into dogfish?

[Shawn6o4]

I seem to get into more dogs on high tide, but have got the largest ( around 4-5 ft) on a very low tide so guess it depends.
For bait I usualy use salmon parts, scrap chicken or shrimp.

Good luck

4-5' NICE ok can you tell us a little more about what terminal tackle your useing .

[Fillibert]

R we talking Jericho or Spanish?
I've seen a seal catch a huge salmon fairly close to the beach @ Spanish.
Anyone planning to go there tomorrow (friday)?

[Shawn6o4]

Yeah it was big! I was not really expecting it as I was mainly crabbing and casting out a old salmon rod. It was a simple bottom rig setup i usualy use a size 1/0 hook,  if your on the dock cast out as far as you can from either the right corner or the left corner of the pier. But like I said when the pier is fairly busy I tend to walk for a few minutes and find a relaxed spot, if I'm not just there for a couple crabs.

The pier is shut down, no access allowed.  I believe they'll be tearing it down
Still good crabbing there though.
