Experience a true West Coast fishing experience with East Coaster Sport Fishing! Your courteous and professional captain will help you land the fish of a lifetime!

Try your hand at catching everything from Coho Salmon, Chum Salmon, Pink Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, Lingcod, Cod, and more if conditions allow. For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

You’ll be welcome aboard a 24’ Cuddy cabin with a capacity for 4 passengers. It has downriggers and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures.

You might need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Some essentials to bring are snacks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Get in touch with Capt. Robert below and start planning your trip today!

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.

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.

Half Day trip with Captain Robert

VERIFIED

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.
