You just have not been there at the right time. For the last 3 weeks or so I have been catchin them at the piers and at the outlets different times of day from am hours, mid day and evenings. Just need to put your time in and be there when the bite starts. Have averaged 9 to 12 fish in the 27" to 37" length. Browns, Lakers, Steelies, and Coho too. It beats sitting at home no matter how you look at it.
