Hey dude,
I was out there in mid may and there were only a few guys out there fishing. The replies you just got seem like the exact info we got on the pier. Dont try casting accross to Quadra island the guys joked.
We used heavy silver spoons and jigged about 15-20 feet ahead of the pier. We let the current take the jig but tried not to snag the bottom.
We were pretty lucky, my bro hooked into a 12-13lbs but by the time I got the net in the water...gone. Rookie mistake. I had to run the WHOLE pier to get the net. Usually there is one at every garbage. Not that time.
Oh well! Good luck
