Hi there heading to port renfrew on june 28 for my very first hali fishing trip, can anyone recommend a good campground with boat launch and any fishing hot spots. I'm a river fisherman but recently purchased a 18' alumi with a 200 merc, thanks guys

www.portrenfrewmarina.com . For Hali Spots, somewhere 150-300 feet is usually a good bet anywhere west of Carmanah.

Yeah, go see Bud or Rex at the office ask about going down the river you have to watch the tides.Also I would strongly recomend a gps with the proper map chip,there are some rocks that you will want to avoid on the right hand side in the bay.Also ask about coming back into the river you don't want to be to far to the right when entering.Pay attention to the wind and tides sometimes can get very rough in the bay.How much saltwater experience do you have,not really a good place for beginners.

been out in the straight many times and have pretty well been on a boat since I was little, now when you say river what are you talkin about??? San Juan bay is where we are heading is it not???

Port Renfrew Marina is on the river-low tide means some people can't get out, well really low tides causes some people some probs sometimes.

Your river experience will come in handy as you need to know how to switch sides to find the channel if it's getting dark.

Dan gives some good advice about those rocks-keep an open eye there.

It's a busy place you can alays falll back on http://www.portrenfrew.com/pacheedaht/ for camping.
