Island honeymoon ideas....
« on: June 09, 2009, 06:17:42 PM »
So... in a bit less than a month, I am getting hitched to my beautiful lady.... and we have a week off after the wedding to do a little road trip.  We think that we would like to head over to the island and do a little honeymoon on the coast and maybe sneak a day of fishing in there as well as I hear that the fishing is pretty hot this year.... so... does anyone have some suggestions or locations, names of some guides to think about heading out with for a day?   Iron Noggin?  is he still around on here?  I've been really busy so I haven't been on here a lot myself for a while.... but any suggestions and name dropping would be greatly appreciated.   Looking to basically tour the island/coastline and maybe have a day of fishing....


Thanks in advance guys,. ;)

Not sure if Nog is on here or not...
I know he is on a few other sites, I could let him know if you want to hook up.

That could help.... let him know that Big Steel is wondering if he'll be around come July 6-10th... or so...

Congrats on the BIG day! I too am getting married July 25th and I was also thinking of taking the Mrs. to the Island or Salt Spring. There seems to be alot of nice villa's or cabins for rent around that area. I however dont know if I will be allowed to fish as the old lady is not much into fishing...she like to eat salmon tho. Thats my excuses to go fishing.lol.

Best wishes to you and your new soon to be wife!

Cheers,

Ali.

The pump doesn't really hurt that much.... it usually only goes to shows and a couple cruises.... besides.... the kia makes up for it with 600kms on $35!!! ;D
