For crabs, try Booth Bay or Shoal Islands. Prawns are done.

without giving away my secret, which is what i am doing - head between the mill and the chemainus river, by the big pilings... it comes up fast so be carrful, but have always done well there with the crab traps!

 

[islander55]

are those pilling on the front side of bare point towards those islands in front of croften??

 

[banger17]

I believe so... between Willy Island and Shoal Island, you cna see the big pilings there, and there is a big shelf that comes up and then into the shallows...

Yes that is a very good spot we use to own one of the shoal islands
