Shrimp!!
Posted on April 16, 2009
Shrimp opens on the first Saturday in May then Wednesday. Same as last year. At the same time the Hood Canal Bridge is closing so be sure you chart your route a head of time and pack your patience. You will have to get to the canal via Olympia then north on Highway 101 through Shelton.
June has some of the lowest tides of the year. People are coming for Geoduck. We are getting reservations for those days so be sure to check the tide book and find a place where you can relax and enjoy all of the canal.
Crab will open in July (I think, I need to track down the new fish and game rules) so be sure to stay a few extra days after the 4th to take advantage of that season. There's nothing like fresh crab from Hood Canal.
Black mouth closed last week and there were some very nice one caught. Seabeck had a fishing derby and of course the word I got was that the run slowed by derby time, although an 18 pounder was caught. We tried fresh blackmouth on the BBQ and boy was it good!
If you need Shrimp or Crab gear be sure to check with McKays, right across from the Brinnon General store they have it all.
License is required for all shellfish.
Shrimpfest will be here on Memorial Day weekend so book your house now..........

Happy New Year!!!
Well we have had a lot of the white stuff and when you get off the main highway you are on your own. Thankfully the rain is here and melting it away. Yah! We have had several days when we were unable to leave the house. Then there were times when we were without power. So if you are reading this and on your way over to the canal. Be sure to bring a candle or two and a flashlight. You never know when the power might go out.

Be sure to plan a head for those little getaways. We get booked up quickly after May.

Blackmouth Opening Today!
Posted on October 16, 2008
Today is the start of Blackmouth fishing season in portions of Hood canal. Come spend the weekend and catch some of the best Blackmouth around these parts. Talk is; crab may open soon too. We'll keep you posted. Be sure to check the local fish and game regulations for catch limits and license information.
It's getting to be that time of year. Don't forget to come by the Ranger station in Quilcene and get your Christmas tree cutting permit. $5.00 and all the beautiful country you want to explore is all it takes. There is nothing better than a fresh cut Christmas tree. Permits are now being sold!
We have cabins and houses for all sorts of weekend adventures; fishing, hunting, mushroom gathering and tree cutting. Winter rates are now available so be sure to check out our houses for a perfect fall getaway. Spend a weekend fishing, clam digging or tree cutting and no doubt you will be back during the summer.

Vacation on Hood Canal
Posted on July 24, 2008
Summer is in full swing around here. Meaning that we are experiencing many DOT delays. The department of transportation is making life a little stressed these days by having so many projects in just a short amount of miles going on at one time. It took me 50 minutes to go 11 miles the other day. So put on your patience cap when driving on Highway 101.
That is the extent of the stress around here. Although lately just figuring out what time to go pull your crab pot seems to be the next big stress. But once again patience pays off with some fantastic size crab! Very good eating too!
Our rentals are full for the most part. We have a new house up for rent so that will help out. All our visitors seem to enjoy the great seafood and beaches.
So if you haven't been here yet, nows a great time to see it all.

Crab is OPEN!
Posted on July 3, 2008
Crabbing opened yesterday in our area. Yummy Dungeness crabs will make a wonderful addition to any meal this 4th of July. Low tides are expected so you can have the best seafood fest of clams, oysters and crab. We have two stores in town where you can get your shellfish license and supplies you may need. Don't forget your rake and bucket for clams and a shucking knife for the oysters.....
Weather today so far is rain but not enough to keep us from the beaches and boats. There is a burn ban even with this little bit of rain. The forest around us is dry so please be careful out there and have a safe adventure.
Check the calendar on the the houses, we still have room this summer!
Happy 4th of July!!!!
