Surf Fishing Questions
This summer I will be heading off to Nanimo BC (actually just north of there) for a family event. I plan to use some of the time to try my hand at some surf fishing as my sister in laws place is less than a good cast from the ocean (straight of Georgia).

Preliminary research has indicates that there are rockfish, ling cod and flatfish in the area. If I'm lucky maybe even some dog fish.

I was planning picking up a couple of surf rods. Actually I'll likely order the from bass pro and get them delivered straight there next time they have a free shipping event. I've checked some of the local shops and they don't seem to have much to offer.

I'm trying the keep the cost down so I narrowed it down to a couple of rods and I am looking for feedback.

I was thinking about getting the 15 ft version of this rod:

Offshore Angler™ Power Plus™ Rods - Spinning Rods

Is this too much rod?

Alternately I was thinking a couple of the rods OT recommended (I picked one last year and I was very pleased with it)

Shimano® FX® Spinning Rods
http://www.basspro.com/Shimano-FX-Spinni...uct/58574/

I plan to be poking up live bait (squid, herring) locally.

I managed to find and pickup some buzz bomb lures which are popular on the island.

I will be brining a UL pack rod and try some of the local streams.

My brother in law may be picking up a zodiac so we go out a couple of times.

Any help and/or suggestions would be welcome.
