The index for Cowichan Bay, "the best kept resort secret on Vancouver Island".

Naturally, the best recreation in Cowichan Bay is boating.

But, crabbing is awsome. Everyone has a best place and way to crab, but as one who crabs regularly I offer the following advice:

  • The best time to crab seems to be around the high and low tides. Set an hour before pull an hour after and most times you will have your set limit.
  • Most any bait works, but they prefer chicken
  • If crabbing the south shore set in 60-70 feet of water (there is a shallow shelf following the shore)
  • If crabbing on north shore hug Tseuhalem Mountain.
  • Watch your traps. Traps left too long often disappear.
