Boats loaded .. leaving in the AM . Ill be on ch 6 handle "Roxley"
I drive that road everyday and it’s been brutal for a while now. They have been working on the road last couple days. There was 1 truck and a tow truck in the ditch on the way home tonight.Made er to Tahsis, head bay fsr is a joke right now. 125min to make it the 65.5km from GR to Tahsis. If you have a nice boat bigger than 20ft I might be thinking about running it from GR…
Haha ya I seen that tow truck in the tulies still!I drive that road everyday and it’s been brutal for a while now. They have been working on the road last couple days. There was 1 truck and a tow truck in the ditch on the way home tonight.
The road to Zebellos is always much better than Tahsis. They keep it up much better. It was as rough as I've seen coming in today though, there were several sections with potholes and some washboard, but it still took about 40 minutes to drive the 40Km. Once I was to km 25 the grader was working and the final 15 km was smooth. The rest of it will be graded soon.Made er to Tahsis, head bay fsr is a joke right now. 125min to make it the 65.5km from GR to Tahsis.

I’ve been saying that for years now. Only take a nice truck and boat combo in on that road, or the Nesook Rd, if neither the truck nor boat belong to you. If they belong to you, launch the boat in Gold River. One person can drive the boat around to the destination while the others take the truck there. If the road is dry, the truck/ boat combo will be completely covered in granite dust. If it is wet, the gear will be covered with granite mud. Neither scenario is any good. Launch in Gold River , it’s a lot easier and much less grief.. My thoughts anyway…Made er to Tahsis, head bay fsr is a joke right now. 125min to make it the 65.5km from GR to Tahsis.

I've done it in the past no issue-ask first though.Question. Anybody know if you can drop fish at Moutcha Bay for St Jeans for processing if you’re not staying there.
Moutcha will be happy to arrange the processing of your fish even tho’ you’re not staying there. Shouldn’t be an issue at all. All it takes is $$$…Question. Anybody know if you can drop fish at Moutcha Bay for St Jeans for processing if you’re not staying there. I leave on one of my trips back home on Sunday when none of their facilities South Island are open. It would be convenient to drop on our last afternoon in the Sound at Moutcha.
Due to all the pandemic this and that I asked MB last week same thing. They are open to all, no issues. Even process your fish there if you prefer.Question.

Not many right now, the Commercial boats just finished up their season. There were more boats in the inlet than normal. I know one of the regulars and he was saying it was his slowest year ever. Normally after the commercial opening it isnt worth the time or effort for at least a few months. Up to you but i would suggest your time would be better spent fishing this time of year. My traps are put away until at least late AugustNow that the threads awake, any prawns in the nootka area?? ill be up mid july and would love to grab a few to stock up the freezer. Things are pretty slow in howe sound for prawns right now.
Thanks for the intel, ill be up fishing for 7-10 days. Thought maybe i would bring the traps just because i was there. Looks like ill have to try up around texada, powell river, sounds like things are still ok up that way. I had plans to day trip or overnight up there and can take a pair of traps.Not many right now, the Commercial boats just finished up their season. There were more boats in the inlet than normal.

That’s a nice fishA nice day with light winds in Esperanza means halibut! James, Jamie and Myles took full advantage of the increased halibut size limit with a 132cm 75lber and limited out on the morning. Late June means good bottom fishing and the salmon have arrived.
