We truly did have the best of it and i'm grateful
Winter Harbour Experiences?
- Thread starter DuroBoat
- Start date
When I have the cottage all fixed up, you my friend, have an open invite to come up to WH and spend a few nostalgic nights there with some buddies ( no charge as long as you clean up
. You guys paved the way for our generation of adventures and die hard fishermen / women. Your msg also reminded me that I’m not too far behind you and should enjoy all our crazy, stressful (I have two babies), expensive but beautiful adventures on our boat along our west coast

very generous of you! i would tell Mike this offer is contingent on him bringing his gps coordinates!When I have the cottage all fixed up, you my friend, have an open invite to come up to WH and spend a few nostalgic nights there with some buddies ( no charge as long as you clean up
To be honest, I figure I’ll get up there for 3 trips a year.. that leaves a lot of time when the cottage is sitting empty. It’s comforting to known it’s being used and checked on.. if you have someone you trust

but lots of great bottom fishing! Your're gunna love having a house there!!!Hey guys, I’m loving all the positive feedback and words of encouragement! Please pm me with any contacts that can help with painting, and general labour up there. I won’t sleep well until the house is in much better shape lol. I’ve contacted The Outpost (Bill) and he’s going to put the word out for a painter but could use any contacts you may have.. there is a lot of scraping and sanding and I really need to find someone up there can can get the job done for me. I’ll take on the replacement of the deck, stairs and all interior renovations (hopefully I can find someone in WH that can work with me!) but would love to hire as much help as I can! …one day this will be a relaxing getaway

I've chartered out of WH every summer since 2008. Always head home with a freezer full of ling, spring, coho and hali. The weather can definitely get sporty, but there is little reason to run far. You can be on the 300 ft line in 15-20 minutes. On the snotty days when most boats stay inside, the lighthouse and Cliff Pt get busy enough that noise in the water usually kills the bite. Best to head in and wait until sunset when the lodge boats and most others have left. Once it gets quiet again, fish to be caught.
