Do you have to cast from a boat , are the pinks way off shore ? Can a person cast from shore or are the people standing waist deep  ?A tall person may be waist deep but if you are short that is upper chest .

just went down at 2:00pm to see what was happening    1 person casting from shore, 2 boats anchored and one guy in a float tube( going to watch the news to see if he was swept out to sea :D) No one catching any and very few surfacing I would say that the schools are just starting to come in and next week should start to pick up

i was the only guy casting from shore from 1:30pm to around 2:30pm then all in a sudden about 4 guys in wader and 2 other teens joined the show.  that guy in the float tube had 3 on in about an hour, on his fly rod.  On the second cast with hammered pink brass i hooked into a .... guess what.... a starry flounder!! a nice fish around 1lbs or so..  couldn't believe they take spoons too. :)   the action stopped there for me, i tried buzzbomb and green spinner as well to no avail.  Saw quite a number of pink jumping but no one could get them to bite. It was still a little tough to fish from the shore, i would have to find someone who is willing to let me board the boat for some action. i would chip in for the gas of course.
They r coming in now. i am sure in two weeks of time the beach would be full of beaks.  :D

Wow it is amazing How much of an effect the internet has on fishing spots. I was there today...Thankfully in my boat. There were 30-40 ppl on shore. :o

You got that right. You don't have to join the hordes at the popular spots to catch pinks. I was out checking out the action tonight and saw several schools of pinks from Cates Park all the way to the West Vancouver shoreline. Find your own spots.
