    Doubt you'll get a charter boat til March, most boats are out of the water over the winter. Shore fishing is not hectic either, flatties are usually gone off to spawn and won'e be back inshore til ~March as well, but some places will throw up doggies and early ray. Night fishing you'll get plenty of coalies, whiting and rockling this time of year, but they tend to be tiny...

    I would be in no rush to fish at the moment the weather but Bass and Pollock would be around if you got a nice cold calm day.

    I would be interested to see what the above poster has to say about the whiting fishing

    Um, I did mention whiting. In my experience you will rarely catch any decent whiting on the west coast from the shore, I've never landed one of eating size anyway. Off the boat is a different matter, but I wouldn't be going afloat in this weather!
