Don't discount fishing the river. There is excellent fishing there. See if you can work your way to the flat that is left of the bridge (as you go towards the beach) near the grass flat. You will probably have a better shot at finding fish in the river than you will in the ocean this time of the year (or maybe not...one never knows until they get there).

You might want to consider renting a kayak or a canoe and heading upriver. There are lots of great banks to fish.
