How's fishin around May long weekend around port renfrew thinkin of making a trip over.
If you can get out, the hali is great. The odd spring around, just run out and anchor for them if you know how. If yo've never fished the area, it can be frusterating that time of year, but the crabs are good.

Do you need to go off shore to swiftsure or are there some spots closer to shore?
Swiftsure is usually quiet then. Find some humps near the shore, I don't usualy hit Swiftsure till mid June. Fishing's good when you find them. I'll be up there then. Don't forget your crab pots, it's great!

when you say look for the flat spots close to shore how close, deep? Only tried once for Hali, and well since it's quite a drive just to get there from here all the help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the understanding that you had to drift fish to get Hali???
Check out what DC Reid has to say, there's 3 good chapters on halis:

50-200 feet. Halibut like to sit on gravel humps. Fish the tide changes, use big fresh bait (Herring, pike mackerel, etc).
