Tell me about fishing at POR

We are staying there May 30-31. Do you rent poles/bait? How much is it? Do you stand on a pier or take a boat? Is it available all day? Do the fish bite?
Thanks!

We just got back from PO last week. We didn't fish but stopped by to look. I didn't notice the prices -- sorry. I'm sure someone here will know. You fish with cane poles right off the fenced dock -- there are a jillion small sunnies that you can see swimming right around. The kids that we saw fishing really seemed to have a good time. I don't think it is available all day -- we would see them fishing on our way out in the morning but in the afternoon the stand would be all closed up.
