Port Renfrew Marina is now open for the 2009 season. Things have been busy out there with cleanup and new and old customers bringing in their units for the year. Our new caretakers, Wayne & Gwen Coleman are now out there and have been busy helping us. For those of you who were there last year you will recognize Knut. He is returning this year and will be working for the summer. Expectations are running high for a great Chinook return and if the last few weeks are any indication we would have to agree. Lots of limit catches coming from the can bouy from 40-85 feet deep on any needle fish pattern. Catches include:
- Gary Candy 4 spring in the teens to 22 pounds
- Dave & Gilles 7 springs up to 22 pounds
- Kerry Rawlick 29 19
- Desi Hatchard 8 10
- Glenn Wilson 22 23
Halibut fishing is very good with quite a few in the 80 pound range and a couple even larger. The weather is still a problem this early in the year so leave prepared and informed of sea conditions.
Crabbing is the best we've seen!! Limit loaded traps are the norm right now. Fresh and sweet, the first of the year can't be beat!
A reminder: if you haven't confirmed your seasonal site by May 15th you may lose it. There are many new inquiries so please don't delay and let us know. Gas and bait are now available
Please note: We have an ATM machine to help customers with our cash only policy.
