March 18th I decided to make a trip up to Tofino with my family. A friend of mine had just finished building a cabin and we decided to take our families up there to enjoy a weekend of ocean, fun and hopefully fishing.
Living in Abbotsford made the trip a little longer then I would of liked. The whole time driving up there my children kept asking "are we there yet". The trip was taking too long for a 8 year old and a three year old to handle and they kept saying they were never coming here again. I kept telling them never say never...or at least until you see this place.
We went out on a fishing boat on the Saturday and it was spectacular. He took us out crabbing and we caught about 12 dungeness crabs in no time at all. We were also lucky to catch some beautiful spotted prawns, I was so excited about the feast we were going to have. The fisherman driving the boat took us around to see the sea lions, we fed the eagles off the back of the boat and saw some amazing senerery. He commented that the adults seemed more excited than the 3 kids that we brought along for the ride.
That night we did feast on everything that we caught, it has to be hands down the best dungeness I have every eaten. You could not have eaten anything as fresh as catching it that day. Unfortunately we had to leave the next day. My kids were asking me when we were coming back. I guess the drive was worth the experience.
