Sehr emofehlenswert!!
5 Hour Trip on July 19, 20262 adults

Der Ausflug war grossartig! Wir sind um 6 Uhr morgens los - die Atmosphäre der Morgenstimmung war fantastisch!! In der ersten zwei Stunden waren vermehrt Buckelwale sichbar! Nachdem wur unser Ziel von zwei Königslachsen erreicht haben, haben wir auf Silberlachse gefischt. Zum Schluss fuhr uns Robert noch zu einer Boje, wo wir Seelöwen aus nächster Nähe sehen konnten. Robert gab sein bestes, um das Erlebnis grossartig zu machen! Sehr empfehlenswert!! Mehr Infos zu seinem Angebot: https://eastcoastersportfishing.com/

5 hour morning trip
5 Hour Trip on September 1, 20242 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.

Reported catch:
Chinook Salmon
Coho Salmon
Lingcod
