Sorry, this may get a little long winded since I just went through this last year.

Snow Creek is a great place that will offer a little more options when it comes to bottom fishing.

Having said that it really depends on how you are wanting to stay. If it's camping in a camper or trailer, they are packed in like sardines at snow creek. Sekiu has some better options there. If you stay in the cabins at snow creek (which is what I did with the kids last year) they are clean but minimalistic.

Don't be in a hurry at snow creek. They have this wierd hoist that puts your boat on a trailer that is rolled into the water. If there is a line, you'll be waiting. If you feel like launching your boat in the sand, you can drive right down on the beach and go that route.

Dock space is limited. If you can't find a spot they have mooring bouys. This is great if you have friends capable of picking you up in the dingy that you use to shuttle back and forth (I was with my 8 and 6 year old which meant I needed dock space). Again, if the shuttle boat is in use, you wait....

Docks also had no running water at the cleaning stations. You had to use a buck to reach down and get water to use when cleaning.

If you choose snow creek, make sure you have EVERYTHING you need. They do have a small amount of tackle, ice, etc. But there is no general store you can run into and buy beer and hot dogs.

The guys at snow creek were awesome. Super helpful and super patient with me as I got to learn how they run the launch, cabins, dock, etc.

When you fish out of snow creek, you have a lot more choices when it comes to fishing, esp in a smaller boat. If it's ugly you can stay close and if nothing else bang out some rockfish. Sekiu will not give you that luxury (and add to that a lower retention number).

Damn....a novel.

Sekiu....I've been there way more than Snow Creek. I usually stay at Olsen's (not necessarily the best choice) but I dry camp in the camper out on the breakwater. I'm relatively spaced out, and am sitting right at the water's egdge. Sekiu has gas, food, and a place to eat dinner. Lodging options range from hotel rooms to cabins so there's that route. Launchs are all normal, no wierd sling/rail thing. Most docks that I am aware of have cleaning stations with running water (if that's important to you, just was an added hassle which is why I mentioned it in the first place).

Sekiu at that time may or may not be open for kings, and if it's not, then it will be a run for bottom fishing. Retention is like 1 or 3 rockfish (can't remember now) whereas in area 4 you have a 10 count.

Hope that helps. I guess if I had to sum it up, Sekiu for me because my boat can handle the run, and I have amentities near me in case I need something. And, when I show up at midnight, I can drop my boat, and get the truck situated so I'm ready to go. If I had a week to spend, wasn't in a hurry, had adult support, and a vehicle use to take a drive for supplys with, I'd choose Snow Creek. The guys seemed to care about your business and wanted to help an any way necessary, which is a far cry from the treatment you will get a some Sekiu locations.
