Another national magazine feature – This by “Fishing Wild” – One of the most impressive write ups that has been done on Wilderness Island, wait until you see the photo’s of not only the unique landscape but the amazing fish and wildlife.

… the most knowledgeable fishing guide… (Harry that is!)

October 24, 2010 by Jim & Harry Leave a Comment

Thanks for a great fishing trip/vacation/adventure. This is a fantastic place you have here. Possibly the best skipper on the West Coast.

Without a doubt the most knowledgeable fishing guide I have fished with (Harry that is!). It has been a great pleasure to share this place with such relaxed + hospitable people.

Thanks Cliff + Emma.

P.S. I’d love to be here when the fish are “going off” if this was a bit quiet!

Good mates Jim and Harry had the same vision as kids, to live on an island. They're now living that dream.

Life is nice living on a secluded and tranquil eco island with the best fishing on the planet. You too can now share the Wilderness Island experience.
