Fresh Discovery Harbour Marina Fishing Reports

Coastal Adventures – Fishing Report Captain Dan Reporting Toba Inlet exploded this trip—no other way to say it. We fished the flood tide behind Second Island at 110 feet, and it was like throwing gas on a fire. Chinook salmon were stacked and on the hunt. Rods doubled, reels screamed, and we hit multiple double headers that had the boat rocking and the adrenaline pumping. These weren’t cookie-cutter fish—15 to 25-pound bruisers, chrome-bright and savage. One after another, they hit like freight trains and fought like warriors. Every angler on board was into fish, and the energy was electric. Toba isn’t just a fishery—it’s an experience. Towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and that raw, untouched magic of the BC coast. It’s where nature shows off—and the fish show up. But listen close—this special Toba Charter is limited. No fixed dates, no open calendar—just a few prime spots left while Chinook retention is legal and the bite is red-hot. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. No second chances. Book now. This is where the giants run—and they’re running right now. TD Coastal Adventures Captain Dan Shea Wild fish. Wild places. Lifetime memories

Captain Dan’s Pan-Seared Tomato Basil Lingcod Fresh lingcod fillets (caught by you, if you’re doing it right) Sea salt and cracked black pepper Olive oil Fresh basil leaves Cherry tomatoes, halved Garlic, minced A splash of dry white wine A squeeze of fresh lemon How to cook it: Season your fillets with salt and pepper like you mean it. Heat a skillet with olive oil until it’s good and hot. Sear the fillets until golden brown on both sides — crisp outside, tender inside. Toss in the garlic and cherry tomatoes — let them sizzle and fill the air with pure magic. Add a splash of white wine and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Scatter fresh basil over the top and let it all simmer until the fish flakes perfectly. Cooked fast. Cooked fresh. Always cooked with love.

LING COD OPENS MAY 1ST The Captain’s Secret Hole Awaits… You didn’t hear it from me—but Captain Dan is opening the vault.

A $150 bonus—just for booking early. This ain’t your average bottom bounce. This is a shot at giant lings (aka “bucketheads”), brutal takedowns, and the kind of stories that only come from fishing with the man who knows where they live. Spots are limited. The hole is real.

Because once the word gets out—it’s game over. #LingCodSeason #BucketheadsAreBack #CaptainKnows #SecretHoleTrips #TDCoastalAdventures #CampbellRiverFishing #SaltyAndSavage #FishWithTheBest #BookNowFishHard ⚓️??

Where the Giants Run – Toba Inlet An Exclusive Spring Salmon Expedition – April to July 15 Only Brought to you by TD Coastal Adventures – Campbell River, BC While the rest of the coast waits, the opportunity is now—Toba Inlet is open, and the giants are running. With Chinook retention closed in the Campbell River area, anglers are grounded, watching the season slip by. But in the secluded wilderness of Toba Inlet, a rare and legal window remains wide open: One Chinook salmon per day, per fisherman—kept, cleaned, and carried home. But that’s not all. Coho and Pink salmon are also showing up strong—and may be retained according to current regulations. It’s a multi-species spring fishery in one of the wildest and most scenic places on the coast. From April through July 15, join Captain Dan and the crew at TD Coastal Adventures on a journey into a place few ever see and even fewer ever fish. Toba Inlet is a world apart—a glacier-carved fjord steeped in silence, shadow, and legend. With snowcapped peaks overhead and icy rivers pouring into the sea, this is sacred salmon ground—ancestral waters where massive Chinook, powerful Coho, and schools of pinks come to test your gear and your grit. This isn’t your average charter. This is Tyee country, where Chinook over 30 pounds earn a name of honor. Every strike is violent. Every battle is earned. And when the rod bends deep, and the reel screams—you’ll know: You’re not just fishing—you’re catching legends. As the boat slices deeper into the inlet, keep your eyes open: Orcas surfacing. Humpbacks breaching. Sea lions on the rocks. Eagles overhead. Black bears on the shoreline. This is more than fishing—this is the wild, untamed coast. With decades of experience, a deep respect for these waters, and a long track record of putting guests on trophy salmon, TD Coastal Adventures delivers more than just fish—we deliver unforgettable memories. And that’s not all. On these charters, there are often bonus opportunities to drop traps for crabs and spot prawns, and to jig up a hard-fighting lingcod. This is full-throttle coastal adventure at its finest. ⸻ Book Now – Limited Spots Available!
