Are you staying at a resort? I have stayed at painters and i got 5 nice fish in 3 hours or less fishing. They fish at the lighthouse or further up north. If you have a choice choose up north. I found great fishing up there . I also stayed at april point and i fished down near the lighthouse and got skunked 
. This is just my personal preference. I also fished of the large pier it was fun. People catch up to 60 pound chinook and lots of coho off of it. I have seen many big fish caught off of it but i have only caught a lingcod off of it. I think the fishing is best in mid to late august when all the fish are getting ready to go upstream. hope this helps!
