Boat Camping

[Eden Island]

Yes I've seen some larger boats on anchor in Getrudis it is a smaller anchorage but my boat is not large so I'd anchor there in the right conditions.

You probably know all about the anchorage in behind Critter Cover

For sure anchor and rode
I believe that’s part of have a plan and charts

And the hook properly set!

I've been into CC but didn't realize there is anchorage there! On Navionics now dropping pins at any anchorages.

Past several seasons have fished Campania, Rennison, Aristazabal, Price, Milbanke, Shearwater, Hakai and at times run further south to Rivers all while boat camping. A great trip, great fishing for the most part and incredible spots on the hook for the many nights camping on the water.
This season or next thinking up a plan to fish WCVI. Launch in Alberni or Gold River run up and hit Barkley working north fishing Tofino, Nootka, Esperenza, Kyuquot, Winter Harbour and possibly up to Cape Scott. Fully understanding running and fishing the outside could be much more nasty than running the Central Coast but could be a great trip but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it!

Any recommendations for fuel stops and where to hide while on the hook overnight in these areas?

Thanks,

Hi we’re heading to Hartley bay from Kitimat in beginning of Aug. wondering if the trip down to south end of Campania is worth the fuel for springs? I presume 40km or so?
Cheers

June through Aug I always like to fish outside but we're camping on the boat so minimal running once out there. Campania, Trutch, Aristazibal. When I'm out there I'm not worrying about fuel. Couple hundred bucks either way isn't going to break me.

Yes we stay on the boat as well. I was just curious where the best places are normally. A couple hundred in gas is the least of my problems. To many spots to try with too little time is normally the case. I watched Big Coast and they were fishing Campania, that’s why I was wondering about it. Cheers

This is a nice protected anchorage near the fishing grounds at Nootka. Bring snorkle gear and check out the nearby tidal lagoon. 49.649511, -126.515911

Winter Harbour has fuel and a great anchorage.
