Wow! Summer is almost over — where did it go?
The good weather finally came and along with it good fishing in Sooke and Port Renfrew. We have had good fishing for chinooks for the last two months.
As September nears the days are getting a little shorter. The last big push of chinooks should be passing through and some could reach the 40-pound range.
This coming weekend is the Port Renfrew Marina fishing derby on Saturday and Sunday. It’s always a good time and for a good cause as well. The proceeds go to the Four Mile Salmon Hatchery on the San Juan River to help raise fish for tomorrow. For more info contact the marina. Email: info@portrenfrewmarina.com, telephone: 250-483-1878
With September comes the fall northern coho. These fish are one of the best fish to catch, they fight like crazy and they are the true knuckle busters and can reach over 20-pounds.
Check the regulations in your area to see if anglers can take a wild one.
Halibut is slated to close on Sept. 9 much to the disappointment of many anglers.
Until next time, keep your rod tip up.
