    Yep , too much to cover... what do you want to start with....? Read the top 2nd and 3rd topics in this section, and when all else fails, go to J&M Tackle and ask questions, buy gear..... the King bite should be on, so you will want to fish for Kings, ask about the right tackle, Then watch the guys fish and ask, ask, ask questions.
    Thats the best general advice I can give.... ask anything specific, someone will answer.

    Likely you'll have to put in some time for eaither of those.

    ling: try a live LY on bottom about 1/2 way beyween the two ocatgons.

    flounder: drag bull minnows (or a jig & strip) on bottom under the pier around the middle octagon and back toward the beach.

    Hope this helps, and good luck! :fishing:
