Nootka Sound Accommodations

[casper5280]

Looking for a few suggestions for accommodations. We will have 2 boats and there will be 8 of us. 2 or 3 of us can sleep on the boat. We will cook are own meals and we would like to fish offshore. we were hoping for the middle of July. Critter Cove is all booked up then. thanks

Great placd - protected waters, close to off-shore and good fishing. They cater to boat campers, and also have guides if you need them.

There is lots of places you go stay in Nootka Sound....

John and Kathy at westview marina run a really great and friendly marina at Tahsis. See it on http://www.westviewmarina.com/

Does anyone know of any other places maybe even a private cabin? I've Emailed all the places you guys have suggested and so far have only heard back from Rodgers. I'm thinking that that is a little further than we were planing to travel and they do the cooking. How far would it be from Gold River by boat to Rodgers? Also how far a run is it from Moutcha Bay Resort to fish off shore, and yes I realize the further off shore you go the further it is but a ball park figure. Thanks

Hi Casper

From Gold River it is approx 45 minutes to Moutcha Bay approx 1 1/2 hours to Tahsis and about 2 Hours to Rodgers. Time to the surfline: From Moutcha Bay 50 minutes From Tahsis 45 minutes From Rodgers 10 Minutes. That is the big plus about our lodge, yes its farther to get to but so close to the prime fishing / halibut grounds. Plus we have 10 to 14 boats on the water so great for safety and for information.

Cheers Kevin

This is another place that might fit your needs.
No road access but great fishing near by if the winds pickup.

Another option might be the cabins in Jewitt Cove on Strange Island. They are owned by a couple of guys who live in Tahsis. Pretty rustic, but great for a group of 8 or more guys. I've been going there for one of my annual Nootka trips the past number of years and think they are great. If you are interested I can get contact info to you when I get back from Mexico later this month unless anyone else on the forum has their email and/or phone number.

That would be great Hud52. Thanks

Just remembered about this place that may still be available for rent. Been through this place more then once, amazing property / dock & just around the corner from our lodge in protected Queens Cove 10 minutes from the surfline. The owner is very nice!

Just a few questions How many days are you staying? From Moutcha Bay Resort it is approx 16 miles to the lighthouse and then another 8 to 12 miles off shore, depending on where you are going. The only gas I know of is either Critters or Moutcha Bay but if your stuck I,m sure there are other places that would help out. There are only three places that you can drive to, Moutcha, Cougar Ck. & Tuta (In the Nootka Sound area) In the middle of July the fish should be coming into the inside of Nootka, at least they have for the last 4 years but this is a new year. Gas was cheaper by a few cents at Moutcha than Critters in the last few years.

Moutcha does not allow people to stay on their boats while at docked to their docks, don,t know about the rest of the sites in the area.

If your just fishing for salmon, in the middle of July there is no need to go off shore, and halibut can be found at the lighthouse. But I think your a like me, we always head off shor=e, right, the bigger ones are always farther out.

Quote: (further off shore you go the further it is but a ball park figure)..........I have a 20' Hewescraft Searunner with a Yami 150 & Yami 8 high thrust, it takes us about 35 to 40 minutes to cover the 16 miles to the lighthouse, running around 3600rpm and from the whistle bouy back to Moutcha (with good sea's ) it takes around an hour............I have made it in 45 min but not at 3600rpm..........that day was great and there were a couple days it took us damn near 2 plus more hours, God was that lighthouse a blessing in disguise when we reached it and followed the inside waters to Moutcha Bay. Everyone is probably thinking, did you go back the next day, when the weather was the same, of course we did, we fish.

We will coming in on a Friday and leaving on the Monday. 2-23 ft boats( one a 23 ft Pursuit with a 250 hp yam, the other 23 ft Hourston 351w ) We were planning on putting the boats in at Gold River and running down. Staying on the boat is not a big deal just thought it might give us more options. We want to fish for ground fish mostly as we can fish for springs at home or other trips. That said we will also be fishing for springs. If we can get the job done on the inside so be it, but both boats are fully rigged and capable of fishing offshore. This is a group of guys that have been going to a new place same time each year for a few years now and this is the place we have been wanting to go for a few years now. Thanks for the info.

 

[casper5280]

There is lots of great places on the Island Holmes and I'm sure that Nootka is one one them. This trip is more of a bucket list type thing and I'm sure we will be back another time. But this group and this trip is the bucket list trip. You never know Holmes we may see you this year and you can give us the .50 cent tour.

If you are looking in Nootka Sound there is The Bligh Island Fishing Lodge at $550.00. Six nights = $3,300.

In Esperanza, which is where I prefer:
Daffodil Bay Cottage, owned by Cathy of Westview Marina. Rate is $500 per day. Very nice. The only problem is that 25 mile run to the fishing grounds.

There is a cabin (actually a four bedroom, 1500 sqft house) with private dock on Nuchatlitz Island for $1,400 week: http://www.nuchatlitzisland.com/index.php
