Fishing
 Kelp greenling (Hexagrammos decagrammus) are common around bull kelp beds in depths between 10 - 50 feet. They usually grow to be around two feet. They can also be caught right off the dock if you cast out into the eelgrass beds, especially on the south end of "C" dock.
 Red Irish Lords (Hemilepidotus hemilepidotus) are a beautiful fish that are sometimes caught when bottomfishing. They have magnificent coloration and generally grow to be about two feet. You will probably catch 50 quillback rockfish before you catch a Red Irish Lord.
 Cabezon (Scorpaenichthys marmoratus) are a prized catch. They can be found at the same locations as rockfish and lingcod. People sometimes mistake cabezon for lingcod, but cabezon are more stocky and are actually related to the common sculpin. Hold onto your pole tightly when reeling up a cabezon... they fight!
 Most people don't realize that we have great pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) fishing here in President's Channel and other locations near our resort. Some of our older customers will tell you about some prized catches they have hauled up our dock and put onto our fish scale. Some halibut we've seen at our fish cleaning facility have been upwards of 75 pounds.
 Shrimping is becoming more popular these days, but you have to know what you are doing. Spot prawns (Pandalus platyceros) and Tiger prawns (Penaeus monodon) are the most common catch. You have to fish in about 200 feet of water and choose you location wisely or you will lose your setup. If you have never shrimped before, it is very likely that you will lose your trap to the currents if you don't place your pot correctly! If you have great technique, however, the prawns in our area are second to none!
 You can sometimes find oysters on rocks on our beach at low tide, but there are better places to harvest away from the resort. If you're an oyster-lover, we can tell you some good spots! Make sure you check the Red Tide Hotline for any current closures. This information can also be obtained by calling 1-800-562-5632.
 Clamming has always been good to excellent on our beach. This is a cockle and is the most prized catch. If you look down the beach at low tide and see a squirt of water shooting up into the air, dig in that spot and you will probably have a cockle for dinner!
 Butterclams are the most common clam you will catch on our beach. Grab a bucket and a shovel and you will probably catch some butterclams!
