Renfrew Reports?

We are coming out to Renfrew for the first week in April to open up the cabin for the year. Just wondering how the fishing has been or if anyone has been out much. I assume that the crabbing is good? I'm not going to put the Striper in this trip but I am going to bring out my 15' SilverStreak tiller rig. After it's 3 years in Alberta and about 6 hours of use it's time to bring it back to where it belongs....lol Also wondering if it might be at all worthwhile drfting along the 150' line or is pretty much an anchor show this early on. Any reports would be great......Cheers!

....Slim,sweet cut plug unit..:cool:
 
Yah for sure. I had it built to use while I'm living away from the coast but also to be my early spring and fall fishing rig when the docks aren't in. Good for doing some beach exploring too.....a little hard with the fiberglass boat. As much as I like my Striper...when the weather is good there's nothing like fishing in an open boat. IMO

Cheers!
 
Crabbing is very good with a 50\50 hard and soft,,halis were very good last weekend off Carmanah and if you dont want to go that far we anchored off Botanical beach in 85 ft on sat and got 3 in a short bit ,,that edge all the way to Sombrio this time of yr is very good 90% of the fish were on herring and the rest on mackeral,,good luck
 
Thanks Optimist........good to hear there are some around then. I have picked up few off Botanical before but a bit later on in the year. If the weather is good I'll give it a go..........Cheers!
 
Theres some nice springs around owen to the Rock pile 70-90 ft on squirts and coho killers,,in case you want to try for them should be only getting better as we get into pril
 
Good to know......I was going to give that area a try with the kids and try to get them into a couple of fish. We'll be out for 5 or 6 days so hopefully I'll get a bit of fishing in? Although I've been told it's not a fishing trip! lol We'll see I guess? ;)

and very nice ride!
 
Renfrew

Put in a solid Sunday with Hourston/Hindsight and found several halibut, 15-47pounds. "West of Carmanah", on anchor. A sunny day, pretty strong south-east wind for a while, a little rough, then calm in the later afternoon. Some ocean swell hitting the shores.

We saw a couple boats trolling salmon, one radio report of a fish caught....no details though.

Two crab traps, one nearly empty, one chock full, go figure. Sweet San Juan crab, can't beat that.

And because we're talking Renfrew, here's a recently completed "2012 highlights reel (Hindsight Fishing)", to whet the appetite for summer fun coming up soon. :)

Happy sunny first day of April!
 
Crabbing was good this weekend.
Unfortunatly no fishing for me on the family easter camping trip. Confined to the tinny.

Quite a few boats going out and some hali coming in.

Nice calm mornings with some wind after noon.
