Yes. Stayed there many times. It’s a place to rest your head. Make sure you ask for a room with air. Take your own pillow. I’ve parked the boat there many times. Never an issue. Have a beer and burger next door and enjoy the view.Has anyone stayed at the Ridgeview motor inn In Gold River? I booked one night on my way to Moutcha there
To answer your question, almost everyone here will be running downriggers, 11" flashers and spoons, chovies, hootchies behind that. Inlines are unheard of here, except as dummy flashers off of the cannonballs occasionally.For you guys pulling Skinny Gs and Coho Killers, are you putting them behind a 360 flasher or inline flasher? Or just running them solo?
****** day for someone around Lighthouse, hope all are ok

Seas don’t look that rough. Hard to understand that causing it.Heard it was 4 guys all on one side boat and good wave rolled in on them.

Thank you. Great that people like you make a decision to engage at your own great personal risk. We seem to have lost that in recent years where people are concerned about liability or legal implications or some other bs. Just curious what happened to the boat. I see the Coast Guard dragging it behind their Rib. Did they take it to the Friendly Cove CG Station? Did they pump it out or did it eventually sink? Curious to know in such a rural setting how they deal with these situations.The boat that floundered and capssised Maquinna point....yesterday morning
I noticed them having problems, and trolled out to them,
i plucked 2 off the sinking boat as it rolled at my boat, smashing there rods on my deck from there radar arch. the other 2 clinging to the side of my boat, i had to gunn it as the boat rolled one last time, it was going to either squish them between the boats, the hard top was going to hook me as it rolled over and the hard top would have perhaps hooked 1 or both as it flipped. it had to gunn it short burst to get away and not chew up someone inthe prop, we threw lifre ring and jackets at them and backed up on them.
Thanx to wayne from nootka lodge for coming out to see if i needed help.. All four were safley returned to savedera.
and thanx to the 3 clients i had on board. this all took place in a matter of probably 3 minutes. between me running the boat, 1 throwing life jackets from the ceiling of the sorft top where i keep them, 1 throwing life ring and 1 pulling people in,,,,,, you cant rehearse that, and it would have been a different out come likely
if i had to guess on the cause of the capsizing, i would say the transome inspection hatch popped open and bilge cant keep up to that, it was steep tide slop,
That was some fast thinking on your part. Great to see a mariner paying attention and helping out when critically needed.The boat that floundered and capssised Maquinna point....yesterday morning
