    6 Hour Trip on August 29, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had so much fun fishing today! Captain Robert was on time, had a plan and the right equipment to execute it. He was really good helping my kids learn how to land fish. We landed 13 fish, kept 6, and couldn’t be hapoier with the experience. He even cleaned our fish and gave us ice to pack them in for the trip home.

    5 hour morning trip

    5 Hour Trip on September 1, 2024 • 2 adults

    I have been living on Vancouver Island for just over a year. My parents came to visit us for a couple of weeks with Campbell River being a top spot on thier list to visit, mainly for some salmon fishing for dad. Robert was an amazing skipper, very knowledgeable, very friendly and a great help to me, a pretty green fisher. We ended up seeing two humpback whales and we caught a great haul. Amazing experience all round, thank you so much Robert!! We will 100% be recommending you to all of our friends and family.

    Half Day trip with Captain Robert

    5 Hour Trip on June 26, 2023 • 4 adults

    The four of us had a great time with Captain Robert. His boat and fishing equipment are top notch. He knows the water well and put us onto many Coho and Chinook salmon. He was also quick to point out the other sites, like seals and whales, that added to the value of the trip. When we come back to Campbell River we will be sure to book with him again.

    Full Day Fishing Trip for Peter on September 14, 2024 • 2 adults

    We did amazingly well. We were out for a day and half and came close to limiting out both days. Many times both rods were active with fish. Loads of fun.

    CAN'T BEAT THIS CHARTER!!

    5 Hour Trip on September 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    My husband and I booked a 5 hour trip. We met with Captain Robert and promptly set out at 6 a.m. Robert is a great guy who knows his fishing and has a very well equipped boat. The scenery was unbeatable and we caught 7 salmon ( and missed a few). We enjoyed it so much that we extended our time for another hour. Upon return Robert cleaned the fish and fed the waste to the seals under the dock. It was a very unique experience. We highly recommend East Coaster Fishing and will be back!
