Title: Looking for a pier to take the kids to for fishing.
Post by: seansfire on September 09, 2012, 10:05:11 AM: I have 3 kids and am looking for a good south sound pier to go drown some herring at and maybe get a dogfish or 2 or maybe even a flounder or perch. None of the 3 has ever caught a fish before of any size so i thought maybe grab some frozen herring and give it a shot.

Thought about fox island pier but it is way far up off the water. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

There are a couple boats mored there from time to time but its a great quite place to take the kids and there is a park there as well. I fished there a few years ago and we cought a few dog fish. Just check the regs before fishing Case inlet. I'm almost 100% sure anyone can still go down and fish there I take my kids down there all the time to the park and its a public dock.

Check it out
