Becher Bay Marina's ?

[Dancin]

Planning a trip this summer and would like any info on a good place to tie up and fish out of. Thanks.

cheanuh marina is ok and has gas but doesn't have a lot of room for overnight visitors. Sunny Shores marina is more setup for visiting anglers and has gas also, its a little further west so better if you want to fish otter point.

I'll give Sunny Shores a try.
Thanks Papa Swiss!

Heres a list of marinas. You could try Pacific Lions. Nice and quiet near east sooke park.

I don't believe you can launch at Lions unless you are a member of the Co-Op, at least last time I checked.

I like the ramp at Cheanuh, and lots of parking as well.

They have a few spots for transients to park their RV's and dock the boat and launch. It's limited but they do offer it.

It sounds like you're planning on cruising over from the San Juans, so I'm not sure Port Renfrew is a great choice. The fishing is great in PR, but it means a long ride along the west coast, with few places to hide if the weather kicks up after you pass Sooke.

We've always fished the Sooke area out of Sunny Shores, but after basing a couple of trips in Becher Bay (Cheanuh) this year, we've decided we like it better - less distance to travel every morning to get to the hot spots, and it's right in the middle of the Sooke area, from Pedder Bay to Otter Point. Moorage at Cheanuh is an issue in the summer, though, so book early if that's when you plan on being there.

Best time of year - pretty much any time from June through to September.
