TD Coastal Adventures invites you to experience the stunning waters of Campbell River. Captain Dan will be your guide, which means you’ll tap into years of sportfishing experience.

These waters are known for Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Chum Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, Lingcod, Halibut, and more – with any luck, you’ll have tight lines in no time. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Your vessel for the day is a 23’ Pursuit cruiser with space for 4 passengers. It comes with downriggers and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. All bait is included.

You will need to get a Tidal Water fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses.

And that’s it! Your fishing trip with TD Coastal Adventures is just a click away.

Toba Inlet - Legends Salmon Charter on February 14, 2025

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 on July 1, 2025

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.

Once In a Lifetime

Half Day Five Hour Charter on September 12, 2024

Captains Dan and Tom ensured we had a salmon fishing experience of a lifetime! They are so experienced and knowledgeable we had our limit within 1.5 hours. We spent the rest of the charter touring the most beautiful country. We had lunch on a floating restaurant at Browns Bay which was amazing. I highly recommend the Rockfish Fish and Chips. Best I have had. We then tried some ling cod fishing (but mostly enjoyed the view and took photos lol) Captain Dan brought suggested we have our smallest Coho cooked by a local restaurant for supper. Riptide Pub did an amazing job. I highly recommend TD Coastal Adventures and will definitely be back.

Amazing first time out with our boys!

Big Fish Sunset Charter on July 31, 2024

Our boys, 11 & 12 yrs, have recently discovered a love for fishing. Since we were planning to be on the island for a few days during vacation, we decided to surprise them with a trip out on the ocean with professionals as they called it. We couldn't have asked for a better time!!! Dan and Tom were amazing with our boys and really showed them the ropes. We caught fish (which was key for the kids haha) but most importantly, we all have this trip in the memory bank and we will always remember this day! We will definitely be back to Campbell River in the next year or two and we will for sure be booking with you guys again. Thank you both again so much for the amazing experience! Cheers, Lindsey, Greg, Colton & Bradley

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.
