I will also keep you up to date with our other lodge which will be offering even more in the future to the west coast fishermen / fisherwomen and look forward to hearing what you would like to see or want to be available when west coast fishing out of gold river / nootka sound.

The fish are around but you have to really fish for them plus the 77cm rule inside sucks because you'll be lucky to boat one or two that you can keep and have to release so many with the limited chance of survival another DFO screw up but thats another story. Off shore is heating up and the best is yet to come as everyone says THEY ARE LATE........... Bottom fishing for hali etc has been consistantly good......

I will be in camp starting Thursday @ The Gold River Lodge til mid September and will keep you up to date.

I will be reporting now on a regular basis on the gear thats working.

I do have email and will respond not only to those that want to book a charter or plan on staying with us.

Sorry if anyone feels this is spamish but I wanted all members to know where I've been and where I'll be

Cheers Kevin aka MyEscape

ps I want to thank so many from this site that have assisted me to get to where I am today.[8D]

Congrats on the new changes.

Looks like you will be working for Lou Tice.

Sat in on one of the "Investement in Excellence" course and was plesantly surprised. Good course.

Are you just running the lodges, or are you getting involved in other parts of the Pacific Institute???

Cheers

Thanks guys for the support, headed to the Lodge in a few hours will be writting a daily fishing report from the lodge starting in a few days. My bosses are aware of moderating SFBC and support me continuing to do so which makes me happy to.

Wishing everyone great trips and tight lines.......

Hope to see and meet many of you at the Lodge or on the water.....

Wow

Thats all I can say the scenery is so spectacular out here including the sparkling plankton that lights up the water at night like a sky full of twinkling stars. It was a long first day in preperation of a lodge full of in coming guests. Spent lots of time just in awe of this new adventure I have embarked on. The fishing is heating up even inside with the abundance of pilchards running around to the point of being able to catch them right off the dock here at the lodge. The coho have arrived in decent numbers and with some caught in the 15 plus range. As for the Highway off shore hear it was great yesterday today I'll get my chance. I will be on the 33' EagleCraft today with one of the owners today so nothing like a little added pressure on my first real day on the water. I will more then likely be heading off shore for some salmon trolling and bottom fishing. [][][]

Will report later tonight.....

hey myescape.....
i just got back from critter after 4 days and only 2 springs, both under 20 lb.. one was a black gumboot.. caught one at the lighthouse and the gumboot at hoisse pt. seems info is hard to get out there.. and there seems to be a system on where and when to fish.. of course i try to find out what the guides are doing that was tough just look for the gradys. but there is a code out there for good reason,too many boats would swarm.
i saw 2 boats hit at bligh isl fishing too close together.
i heard a man threw his wife in the water at critter.
im not sure if thats true?
ive learned that it takes a fisherman to land a coho...
learned a native word.
the girlfriend and i didnt go fishing to the outside as we were alone on the trip and we didnt have a kicker or radar.
where do you go bottom fishing on the inside for halis, ling, and yellow eye?

we met some great people at critter.. at times we saw lots of fish being landed. most in the high 20 s low 30s and were pretty dark. i have new respect for coho as i had 2 at the boat outsmart me..
i used anchovy on a 5 foot liter with purple haze flash. fished anywher from 35 to 70 ft. hugged the walls sometimes and fished in 150 to 200 ft.
next time ill try to have more game.
hope you do well out there and make the most of it!
chew!
