Pile Point

Pile Pt - Just to the northwest of False Bay. The bottom contours are quite steep here. This is an excellent spot on either the ebb or flood tide. Moochers and jiggers do quite well here. You must be aware of the fishing closure in and around False Bay.

Off shore trollers will do well here on the ebb tide, as Chinook, Coho and Humpies will school up in this area. You can actually troll from Salmon Bank to Pile Point and pick up salmon all along the way. Fish the rips hard for Coho.
