September Overview

Pedder Bay RV Resort & Marina - September 3, 2010

Rental boats

All the rental boats are still in the water and are ready for an adventure. Seals, Sea lions, and all sorts of other wild life are out there to be seen. Whether you are an angler or a sightseer our boats will provide a nice reliable and comfortable platform for your adventure. Come on down and try them out they are the best deal on the coast for a rental boat.

Now that the kids are back at school and everyone is back to work its quiet time up at the RV Resort it’s well known that some folks wait until the fall to do their traveling at this time. If this is you please feel free to give us a call and find out how things are going and book a site. We know you won’t find a better more peaceful spot than this

Salmon

Summer Chinook are going to be thinning out now as the season goes on. This just opens the window for fishing for Coho and perhaps even some more Sockeye. Give the immense size f the run of sockeye this year there is a chance that we will see the run passing for a few more weeks. Keep an eye on the site and of course come down and test fish for the Coho that are bound to start soon. Fishing in similar waters to the sockeye fishery we are certain to see them arrive by the numbers that are hooked while looking for sockeye. The calm mild days of the fall are coming where the water will be mirror calm and there won’t be any fog. Take advantage of these days as they do provide some of the most memorable fishing experiences around.

Halibut Tides


There appears to be some great looking Halibut tides coming up in the month of September starting right on the long weekend. These currents were all researched on page 66 of the 2010 Canadian Tide and Current Tables Juan de Fuca Strait and Strait of Georgia.

Below is listed the times when the currents look good to try for halibut around William Head to Constance bank.
