I’ve got May 14-20 booked to tie up at The Outpost. I’m excited to try fishing at a new destination. I’m going to store the boat, after the trip, near Port McNeill. We’re planning to explore the Broughtons too. Maybe another WH or Kyuquot trip too?

Saw some springs come into WH on Saturday. Getting excited to get the boat up there may long weekend and get after them

Where are you storing near PM? I've thought of doing it between Broughtons trips -- we've done 2 or 3 for years.

I’m trying to get hold of the lot up the hill. Still working on it.
No problem Bart! You have to visualize the beauty it’s going to be lol but it’s a amazing place to stay!

Saw you have a stack of lumber ready to go for what looks like a deck build! Going to be nice to have a new deck!

Ya, a deck makes all the difference! …a lot safer too. Can’t wait to crack a beer on the boardwalk one evening and check out your new kitchen and outdoor area… back to the computer for now

Oh ya for sure! Kitchens are coming along nicely! Next weekend I will be attempting to transport the new stone countertop on the road into WH. Going to be slowwwww… hopefully not as bad as the shipping container took us 5 hours on the dirt to get it there.

For those of you driving between port McNeil and port hardy the cops have been working that stretch hard with the radar last few weekends.

What will the mosquitoes be like, at this time of year? I went by RV 4 years ago, in August, and they were relentless. I’ll bring the bug juice anyway, but considering secondary measures if necessary

Not too bad at the moment. Didn't get bit once last weekend

We were up there a lot last summer and never bothered by the mosquitoes. I think there a lot more in the woods than along the beach

So far it’s been a good trip. A lot hotter than we expected, but beats the rain any day. No mosquitoes either!!
First full day of fishing today. We got 6 Lings, 6 black rockfish, and one 15 lb spring. We fished the reefs off of Lawn Point. Trolling a glow and brown turd hootchie 10 feet off the bottom, was our top producer. It’s supposed to blow a little SE tomorrow, so hopefully it won’t be too rough.
It seems like most operations are just getting set up. No flake ice to be had, but The Outpost has guest freezers, so that helps a lot. Staff is very helpful and accommodating. So far a good quiet trip.

What was in the belly of the spring? Have found the turds are dynamite when there’s a squid hatch, otherwise spoons & rubber. I’m jealous.

She had an empty stomach. Hopefully we find the salmon, this trip. One of the locals said Lawn point kicked out a few recently. That’s why we chose there today. The one we got came in like a ling, and we netted it before it woke up and realized.
