Good morning, I'm going to be spending a week in Comox with my boys, I have salmon fished from a boat before but never from shore, can I just use a light spin cast rod and reel? What test line should I use? And last but not least hooks, what's your go to hook to catch salmon? All advice is appreciated, maybe I could meet up with someone and go fishing

Hi saskman... am sending you pm...
Drive 1/2 hour to Campbell river just north on 28, you'll see the cars parked at the side of the road. Use a pink fly of any kind on a 4' lead below a swivel. Above swivel a 2 inch pencil weight. Almost works like a sinking fly line...almost. Caught and released 30 pinks with these 2 methods so far.
From the beach or CR pier or rocks beside the pier a #2 Buzz bomb pink or a 1/2 0z zinger in pink. Keep the bait moving from the beach as to not get snagged.

I'm using 10lb power pro on medium action spinning gear, similar size mono would work. Keep in mind at least a 4' leader of the same line of flouro if you want.
Good luck

What time of the year are you heading up this way? I can help you out, willing to meet up as well. Just don't want to post all the info on a open forum
