For Port Renfrew Marina fishing has really improved over the last week. All along the shore catch rates have been climbing. Camper, the Rock Pile and Logan Creek seem to be the most popular spots. Anchovies trolled at 30 to 40 feet is a pretty good choice. Coho killers are a good choice as they are good for springs also, not just Coho. Offshore the "chicken ranch" is still the hot spot for halibut, Chinook and Coho. Spoons and hoochies would be the lures of shcoice out there.
Crabbing is still pretty good, the commercial boats took their toll on the quantity you will find but the quality of them is perfect, sweet and hard.
Notable catches:
- Wayne Winters 42
- Jerry Shannon 36
- Jeff metcalf 35
- Wayne Winters 43
- Ray Hamilton 30
Here are two pics since one cut off Wayne's head and the other cut off the salmon's head!
FYI: If you have tried to reach the marina lately and found there was no answer, it's because the phones and Internet were down for 24 hours. We apologize for this nuisance and had it corrected as soon as we became aware of it. This does happen from time to time so if you do have issues reaching us this may be the reason.More FYI: As Port Renfrew Marina is a cash business we ask our customers to please try and come with cash for purchases, we have a constant problem with having enough coin and small bills and with no bank in town it can be difficult. So if you don't mind please try and bring some coin and smaller bills if possible. Thank you!!
