Kevin from McKenna Sport Fishing Charters had his boat out yesterday for a shakedown cruise, getting all systems go for very quickly upcoming charter season.

He got a couple of halibut in the 30s. He didn’t fish for salmon, but reported the sounder was thick with bait and what looked to be spring salmon … so it looks like the fish are out there.

Renfrew good times coming soon!

In the meantime, here’s a few videos just put together from last summer’s fishing from Hindsight:

And to get you thinking, John from Hindsight Fishing Charters posted a few videos of last year’s action…

• Halibut on a trout rod
• Gals fishing trip
• Harpooning a nice halibut

No reports to pass along this week, but with the weather warming up and the winter storms subsiding, there should be more interest in Port Renfrew fishing soon.

In the meantime, here’s a photo sent in by Jody Friday of some summer fishing fun.  Jody says: “This photo is of my great nephew Kierce Nelson and my grandson Jake Walters with their big catch of the day. We love to camp at Port Renfrew and while we’re there these boys fish everyday at the mouth of Gordon River.”

Nice one, thanks Jody, and good job Kierce and Jake!  Next summer the goal is to get out onto the big water and get yourselves a salmon!  Or maybe even a halibut!

Whether little fish or big fish, those are big smiles and great memories … that’s some Port Renfrew summer fun right there.  Coming soon…
