GO NORTH YOUNG MAN!. We have been fish'n Port Hardy for the last 4yrs. IV and his crew @ the Quarterdeck marina are truly hard to beat. They offer a full service marina with works yard but unfotunatly do not have an on-site campground... but there are several nice ones literaly only 3min. drive, just drop the camper!.
The docks are real nice with power and water hoses to keep blood build-up minimal. The charter fleet all seem proffesional, a few are somewhat "clicky" but the magority are quite neighbourly. Alot of the clientele are repeats throughout the season wich in turn creates an afternoon ambiance on the warf that needs to be expierianced to be aprieciated (pot-luck barbies, tales of woe and victory and the infamous 5:01 happy hour club). Then there is the on-site pub in case your feeling "lazy" about cooking dinner. We went up this year late July > early August fished 8 days in total and had limits for 4 on all species, saloman, halli, snapper, lings... It can get busy @ the local fish'n holes mainly on weekends but a little study session on the charts can and does rectify this problem...LOTS of places to fish!. If it wasn't for the camping thing I'd givem a perfect 10 instead of a 9.75. These people truly have the knack for making you feel at home. hope this helps.
Good luck and greater fish'n.
