Absolute Sportfishing offers exciting adventures in Campbell River, British Columbia. The captain has over 20 years of local knowledge and experience. If you want to fish in protected waters surrounded by magnificent scenery, amazing tidal flows, and a dynamic marine environment, you have found the right place.

Situated between Vancouver Island and the coastal mainland, Cambell River is home to all 5 species of Pacific Salmon (Chinook, Coho, Sockeye, Pink, and Chum). They migrate through the fishing grounds as well as delicious Lingcod and bottom fish. And who knows, you might also be rewarded with Halibut while targeting Chinook Salmon!

Your charter boat is a beautiful Offshore 255 Pursuit that is kept immaculate and has fully covered comfortable seating, Espar heater, marine head, big screen GPS/sonar/radar, custom built rods, and the finest tackle & equipment. Equipped with new Mercury 4-stroke main and trolling motors, 2 VHF radios, rain gear, and safety equipment, you are assured to be comfortable at all times.

Conveniently located in the heart of Campbell River surrounded by many options for dining and accommodations as well as being a hub for many other outdoor activities, you can find something for just about everyone’s tastes and budgets.

Your charter includes all tackle, bait, refreshments and light snacks. Your catch will be professionally cleaned and properly bagged for transport. There are three local outlets that can process your catch (fillet, vacuum-pack, and freeze).

Incredible Trip with Captain Laurel: Orcas all around us

VERIFIED

Today we had the honor of spending a 5 hour trip on the Inside Passage with Captain Laurel. It was unbelievable, besides humpback whales we could also see bald eagles and sea lions. Everything was perfectly organized and the day flew by. We were able to catch several cods and the salmon bit too. But just before noon all our expectations were exceeded, orcas appeared and stayed around our boat for almost an hour, an incredible experience. We can only thank you again for the great trip and highly recommend Absolute Fishing!

My wife, son , daughter and I had an awesome day on the water. Captain Laurel was fun and interesting to interact with. He worked hard and was very patient with us the whole time. He found the fish for us; our arms were tired by the time we headed back. Great experience!
