bottom fishing sandshrimp or worms would probably be a good bet

Thursday looks like a good choice weather wise. http://magicseaweed.com/Winchester-Bay-Surf-Report/319/

Let us know how you do.

Ya,you can usually allways catch something with sandshrimp.bring plenty of hooks and weights you'll need 'em you can use a fish finder set-up with shrimp.I'm allways throwing 6" grubs on a 3/4 oz lead head for lings.good luck and be safe.I'll be out tomorrow (florence) I'm the one w/the red life vest.

An amazing way to catch lings(which they are in close due to spawning) is to rig up a slip bobber much like you would for salmon. Use green label herring on a mooching rig 7-10 under a bobber. You shouldn't lose any gear if you fish it correctly and it will produce lings. I am hooked on this style. Caught 2 keepers off the north jetty in Coos Bay last weekend along with several dozen keepers last season. You don't have to cast out very far, work just a little ways off of the rocks. Good luck, let us know how you do!
