Word on the Dock

August Word on the Dock

Pedder Bay RV Resort & Marina - July 30, 2010

Coffee House

The Coffee House at Pedder Bay is officially open for business, “Proudly Serving Starbucks” at Pedder Bay. Come and see the huge change and enjoy a cappuccino and a pastry while you’re at it.

Salmon

Chinook are starting to show in some more numbers. Successful anglers have been using hoochies. Gilles Gagnon the Assistant Manager has been very successful in his unorthodox use of a Purple Haze hoochie on a 6’ leader at first light.   Just this morning a report has come in that there are some huge herring in the bay. It might be worth trying a super teaser and herring for the springs. It seems the track record shows to get out at first light to get your fish. 

Halibut

Halibut tides for August from pg 66 of the area 5 Canadian Tide and Current Tables. All these currents are taken from the JDF East chart. Please be careful as you get closer to Race Rocks as the currents are faster and the windows of opportunity are much smaller.
