Welcome to TD Coastal Adventures – where rods bend, souls mend, and the tide writes the story.
Campbell River isn’t just the Salmon Capital of the World – it’s home. These waters raised me, tested me, and gave me a lifetime of salt, storms, and screaming reels. When you step aboard with Captain Dan, you’re not just booking a charter – you’re joining a West Coast adventure where every tide carries a story worth telling.
This isn’t a sightseeing cruise. Out here, rods double over, reels scream, and salmon erupt from the water. Between battles, you’ll see bald eagles diving, sea lions barking, maybe even a humpback tail-slap or an orca cruising past. It’s a front-row seat to the wild Pacific, with a rod in your hands and salt spray on your face.
First-time angler? Perfect. Hardcore fisherman chasing a trophy? Even better. Families, kids, and old friends – everyone belongs here. Guests return year after year, bringing kids, friends, and even grandkids, because once you’ve fished these tides, you’re part of the story. There’s nothing like the grin on a child’s face with their first salmon or the laughter that comes when the boat rocks with the fight of a fish.
Your boat for the day is The Barb – named after my beloved mom – and every trip carries her spirit: laugh often, live fully, and cherish time on the water. She’s built for comfort and action with room for 4 guests. Rods, reels, tackle, bait, and downriggers are ready, along with a toilet for convenience. You bring your license, a hat, sunglasses, and a snack – I’ll handle the rest.
For me, fishing isn’t just about the catch – it’s about respect for the ocean, the fight of the fish, and the memories shared on deck. At TD Coastal Adventures, you don’t just catch fish – you live the tide. And when the day ends, you’ll leave with more than fillets. You’ll leave with a memory worth telling around tables, campfires, and family stories for years.
Book today. You adventure awaits.Are you ready. Lets go fishing

Toba Inlet - Legends Salmon Charter
What a day! My dad and I went out on a 4hr expedition and had the most beautiful day. Dan and Tom were so great, both worked their magic and we had fish on within seconds of dropping the lines! Tom had the most incredible stories and was keen to teach us. With his 40yrs experience it was quite something! Dan guided us to the best spots and was so sweet to take pics and videos for us. We caught beautiful winter chinooks and even some crabs. We limited out quickly and enjoyed the beauty of the day. Truly incredible. I can’t wait to go fishing with them again.

Big Fish Sunset Charter
Tom and Dan made our fishing experience one we won’t forget in a hurry. It was a gorgeous day on the water, Tom and Dan were professional and super friendly, and greatest of all, we caught 5 beautiful coho. Will definitely be recommending their outfit to anyone in the Campbell River area who want to catch fish and have a great time doing it.

Half Day Five Hour Charter
Capt Dan and his brother Tom are amazing and definitely know where the fish are. We had a fish on the hook with only 1 minute of it being in the water! Multiple times we even had a double header. Great people! I highly recommend this trip.

Half Day Five Hour Charter
We had a fun trip and caught our limit in 5 hours of fishing. Too bad we had to release the really big Chinook and the wild coho. Great weather and our guides knew right where to go. Our meeting point was closer to the fishing site some more time fishing and less time transiting.
