Thanks Last Chance.
Went to the beach (btwn logan and camper) last thursday (8/16/07) and it was slow slow slow. Had three bites between 7:00AM and 3:00PM. Fish were off before we could touch the pole. Talked to some people over the radio and they said it was slower than usual and slow before that. I was very disapointed after that so i stuck to the offshore areas. Sounds like everybody is doing well now. Thanks for the information shared here....maybe next year.
Great day yesterday.
Fished Logan for a couple hours early. 26lb and 21lb springs.
Bank for 4 hali in 1/2 hour (chickens 20lb ish).
Fished towards shore from the bank with spoons (no flashers) and bucktails for non stop coho,a few pinks and a 11lb spring. After about 30 coho we had 3 hatcheries.
Logan looked like the trap shack for # of boats and the SE end of the bank was packed with tons of boats packed into a group. Everyone hooking chicken after chicken.
Great fun!! Great weather!!

TipsUp - Isn't the SE side of the bank like 900ft deep? Do you mean the SW side? I saw a lot of boats out there. Unfortunately, we had to tow another boat in from the bank so we didn't get much of a chance to fish. We got into the Yelloweye pretty thick too. IS there a way to puncture their air bladder and send them back to the bottom safely?
He means the Southest Side, near bouy Juliet, the Chicken Ranch. We have the tides for it this week.

thinking of making another trip out to renfrew, hearing you guys are doing so well. Was there in july 1st with limited success for the first time and enjoyed it, any tips (last chance) on where I should try for next weekend, you mentioned tides were right for SE corner, why you say that??? Any tips would help fella's as I'm travelling a fair distance just to try and get a couple hali's
You can't do any wrong fishing right now. Springs on the banks, springs on the shore on the high slack, and lots of bottom fish.

Interested in Hali I live in Mission right along the Fraser, got my Springs although a couple more can't hurt since the sockeye are closed this year.
You have a good window untill around Sept 15th. Get out there and get 'em.

Well Kelly, back from my 5 week stay in Renfrew. Had an excellent time and met some great people. (Caught lots of fish). Stayed along shore and was quite happy with that for this year. Am already planning next year and now that I have a better idea of what to expect I will be much more relaxed next summer/ Even though the weather was not great it was good for a newbie like me as the water was usually very calm. I appreciate the advice and info provided from u Kelly and others on this site. It was certainly a dream experience come true for me! Actually I think that I was fishing burnt out (if that is possible).
Thanks again. Hope (will) get out again in September.

was out at the bank sunday. conditions very rough, stuck it out and got 10 hallies in 21/2 hours. fished the waterfall for springs, got 4 lost 3. thanks to Ace of Kings charters. good work
Tailspin... Have you driven it? I just heard it was complete.
I also noticed on the drive from Sooke to Renny all of the big corners are being taken out. Work is well underway. 3 year plan. It is to be a 35 minute drive from Sooke.
Lots more pressure as you said.
Good and bad I guess.
