Hey guys,
I fish the Renfrew area every few years, not a regular by any stretch but have put in my fair share of time there. What's the rationale behind fishing the beach to the West rather than East of the entrance? I know a fair number of boats fish East Point and a few will work their way down a mile or so but between Renfrew and Sooke (Sheringham really) you can basically count the number of boats on one hand. I'd guess that less than 5% or fewer of the boats fishing the beaches are headed East.
The fish hitting the Sooke area are obviously working their way down this direction, and there certainly seems to be lots of structure, drop-offs, creeks and rivers to work. Is it simply an under-appreciated area? It can be a traffic jam at Camper and Logan yet empty towards Jordan River (same distance in both directions).
I've noticed similar things around Bamfield -- very few fish the beaches/structure between Pacheda light and Cape Beale.
