Critter Cove Marina

White Christmas for Gold River! Big flakes are coming down now and it is sticking to the trees. This is a view of the river.

One of our favorite fishermen has a day job flying for Air Canada, and he took this photo of Nootka from above on his way over a few days ago. Thanks Peter!

An evening in Nootka. Such breathtaking beauty. Come for the fish, stay for the feeling of paradise.

Look what Rory caught!!! 27 lb beauty at Wash Rock.

Two of the best people ever. Mary and Don, the MAN, the MYTH, the LEGEND, Strome. Enjoying an after dinner beverage on the lanai at Critter Cove.

Another great father/daughter trip at Critter Cove. Way to go Scott and Kate!!

Bite was on big time today. Where you ask??? Bill, Kelly and Hunter sure know!!! ... stories from the gas dock

They have come inside - so now fish both inside and out. Hoiss Point and the Lighthouse were the hot spots yesterday. We have had a cabin room become available starting tomorrow night for 6 nights if you can make a short notice trip.

Karen and Dan with a filleted beauty. Fishing was real good today.

Gorgeous evening snaps last night at Critter. One of the beautiful Hemming Bay moored and one of fishing grandmaster Dan the man Rodway and a red sky.

Team Beckett had a great day today They topped off their halibut outing with a 32 pound Tyee

What’s better than a full rainbow?? That’s right...DOUBLE FULL RAINBOW... ...cool!

It is our shakedown special days here so Bryce has been trained at the Scotty plant to help fishermen here with getting their downriggers ready for the season. We are also filling 3 reels with Maxima ultra green line per shakedown special room. Big thank you to our friends at Trotac in Victoria for loaning us their spooler, and to our expert line spooler John Beckett.

Off to a great start. Jack an Jill winner was Carrie Armstrong with a 33 pounder and second place was Mia Kenny with a 29. A 40 pounder was brought to the dock today and everyone seemed to be catching fish. I missed the 40 before it was cleaned but it is the big one on dock amongst others here. Flat calm out front for perfect fishing conditions.

Big thanks to BC Ferries for their new discounted trailer fares

We don’t know about you, but we’re sure ready for summer to get here. Can’t beat a February freight run.
