Laurel is an fishing and Adventure expert. It was great time
Thank you Kerstin, it's always great to get some fishing action and show the the dynamic environment here in Campbell River! Glad you and your family had a memorable adventure.
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!
Thank you for joining me for your fishing adventure! Hopefully we can get together again next time you are on the Island.
Captain very knowledge and shared info about fishing and the area. Boat clean and good working order. Knew how to read the tides and bait pools. 9 caught in less than 3 hours. And another dozen strikes within that time. Would definetly recommend. If I have the opportunity I will book with Laurel again. Good time
Thank you for the review Keith, it would be great to get out fishing with you the next time you're up this way!
