Hi Holmes:
Can you give us the hours of operation for the restaurant?
I hit there mid-afternoon last year and couldn't get a burger, which I would love to try.
Also, a menu would be nice if you have time.

Hey guys, I received a Newsletter from Critter Cove today. For those of you that were wondering about the gas situation, I have cut and pasted a part from their Newsletter regarding this matter:
The gas dock has been separated from Critter Cove. It now sits just in front of camp. Visa, M/C, and debit will be possible now, but gas charges to a room or slip will no longer be possible You'll pay for your gas when you fill up. Please do not rely on your credit cards. If the system goes down we are way down on the list for a service call, so please have some cash on hand.

Guys, Ive been out there doing a charter, just got back yesterday and am heading back out there tomorrow. I havnt been posting day to day reports due to the topic being "changed". Anyway, fishing during the low pressure system was really slow, especially at ferrer believe it or not... however the light house has been getting good. yesterday morning, I boated a 33, 18, and lost a few pin poppers. We also have been catching some really good coho, acceptionally large for this time of year, averaging 7- 9 lbs with many being 11- 12. The light house should be really good at first light now as the high slack is first thing in morning. Hope this helps.

Stinger, you are right last year all our fish were taken at 50+ feet year before 25-35ft. I go in two weeks cannot wait especially as we have purchased a new for us(2005) 21 Trophy. any updates welcome, thanks to all the posters.

the standard 27', 33'. Unless youre one of these guys who believe theyll catch just as many out in the ozone! in that case drop your riggers to 400 feet, or whatever you think theyll be at, it wont make any difference.
Fish the rocks, dont be afraid to get in there! I may even cut you some slack. remember, right hand to the rocks... unwritten rules of right of way. See you there!

We use private channels, however most people use ch 6. It gets really busy this time of year so you may find yourself shutting it off. Maybe try 72. I sometimes scan that one as some local guides that I know use it. Im Island Fishlifter, give me a ring.

In my recent trip there, I was scanning 6, 16, 68, 72...eventually had to turn it off, endless chatter!
Lots of good size springs were coming into Critter, from Maquinna and Lighthouse area.
Saw a couple of decent fish caught in the Sound too.
BTW, anyone know what happened with the mayday called late afternoon off Ferrer Point on Monday? (or may have been Tues) We saw Coast Guard scream by from Gold River up Tahsis Inlet, but never found out what happened.
And a PS to those with the parking questions: I parked in the gated lot right at the Gold River boat ramp. Seemed well organized and safe, I think $8 per night plus $10 for the ramp.
