The word on the street is that East Point is HOT right now, with lots of springs to 25 pounds. Trevor from No Bananas Charters says “hot may be an understatement”.
Just in time for the 1st annual Port Renfrew Fathers Day Derby. It’s $1000$ per boat, 40 boats maximum. 5% off the top is going to the San Juan hatchery, with the rest going to 1st,2nd and 3rd. all cash prizes. It’s a no frills big cash derby … no hats no shirts and no dinner involved just a good shot at some good cash prizes! Sign up with Trevor if interested, only a few spots left.
And finally, here’s a video of some early season fishing with Des Hatchard of Vicious Fish Charters. We caught a couple of halibut quite quickly, didn’t have to go far this morning. The fish were about 25 and 60 pounds — the big guy put up a bit of a fight, racing down to the bottom a couple of times. Afterwards, we pulled anchor and caught a couple of small feeder chinook salmon on the way home (winter springs), and then came back to a full crab trap. A fun time was had, a nice start to another season of Vancouver Island fishing adventures.
