Top notch day 1 with top notch guys
Comox valley salmon fishing didn’t disappoint 🙌
Noodle arm coming our way again ! 🎣
Getting close to that time of year !
Currently Offering inlet charters where salmon retention is already open and local catch and release charters before switching over to strictly local areas as retention will open July.15 if it’s anything like last year.
If you’re hoping to get out, I suggest enquiring as soon as you can firm up dates you think might work for you.
It’s looking to be a REALLY good year out there again.
Come make some memories, get in on some coastal BC awesomeness and fill that freezer with up to 7 of your friends ! 🎣
Thankyou all for the shares and help !
Well, The sun is shining, herring are spawning and that season we all look forward to is fast approaching !
It’s been a VERY busy and chaotic past few months with a house build on the go, a dislocated and broken leg (one month to go 😅) but the elbow grease work has begun, getting ready for THE best return and future first time guests.
To say I can’t wait is an understatement…
Please reach out if you have any dates you’re hopeful for to secure before they book up
May everyone have a safe and productive season ahead !
See you out there,
Andy
It was calm water and fiesty fish this beautiful September morning, the humpback whales were a bonus as well !
Todays group consisted of judges and marshalls here from across Canada for the National Retriever Club of Canada event taking place here in the Comox Valley hosted by the Vancouver Island retriever club.
This is a week long event here with the best retrievers and handlers from all over and FINatic Fishing Charters is happy to be a part of it.
If you have an interest and passion for working dogs like I do, I highly recommend coming out to see what it’s all about!
Thanks for joining me today and see you at the banquet and some of the trials. Vancouver Island Retriever Club National Retriever Club of Canada
Day two didn’t disappoint, just phenomenal conditions and steady fish. All the way from Ohio, good to see you again buddy ! I guess it’s a lion hunt next and hit the west coast next year 👌💪

POV;
successfully landing a 37lb hog chinook after many silky smooth screaming runs on the TR3 followed by several tense minutes of it holding just outside reach of the net.
We all know how tense those moments are, if there’s a time to lose a big fish, it’s often within 50’ of the boat !
Come get some, let’s fish !

Incredible few days for this crew, two dozen+ fish to the boat, limited out both days and released many fish over 20lbs.
Highlights was a 31lb, 33lb and 37lb Tyees.
Day two had a humpback whale show going on most of the day all around.
Get in touch with me if this is what you think a day of fishing should look like.
Tight lines all !
Black and white photography erases time from the equation and that’s one of the beautiful things about fishing, time just really doesn’t matter.
Lets fish.
thanksforthepic
10 year wedding anniversary trip to the Island done right !
Fish together to stay together 😎
Fantastic first day, filled the bag and released some nice fish up to 26/27lbs while watching humpbacks from afar.
Not too often you see a sick fish but also let go the thinnest, roughest looking Chinook I’ve seen, 82cm and well over 10 pounds underweight.
Day two tomor, let’s Fish !
Most my content is on Instagram, it’s a better platform I find.
Give it a check and follow if ya like !
You need to experience this
World class fishing…
Not much else a guy can say.
94,92,90,85,82,82,80 cm released
4 75-80cm in the bag
First fish and many for Curtis, a tyee for Dustin and incredible fights for all.
Snapped off a monster first fish of the day as well.
Unreal day, unreal average size fish for the Morissette boys, thanks for coming back and see you next year 🎣
36LB Chinook release, what a beauty !!
Come get some, let’s fish !
Rain, sun, absolutely insane fishing.
Top slot size fish for the bag, a 36 and 28 pound release, a couple in that category lost…. I’d say that’s the perfect day.
Heck of a group back again, can’t wait to see you again next year for more days like this!
There are some absolute slabs rolling through right now…
Get in touch with me, let’s fish !
Heck of a day!
Hogust is here 👌🎣
How are those freezers looking !? 🎣
The future is bright for these skilled little anglers !
Definitely a day for the books with long time friends and a bonus 112cm Georgia strait unicorn 🎣
Little Grady caught his personal best pushing 30lbs and we definitely lost a handful of big fish as well. Nothing better than watching and helping kids learn !
Few from Todays charter so Far !
Hey fellow fishers, just had a prime opening come up !
Couldn’t ask for a better time to experience our local fishery !
And it’s here, Chinook retention is open !
Fantastic opening day with friends, so happy to see fresh fish in our freezers again.
The fishing is incredible, get in touch with me if you’d like to have a day like this.
Big life moment (graduation) celebrated the best way by creating family memories for the Ryan family.
Our day started off watching two other boats turn around due to big water but it was a full send kinda day and the fish gods were beyond generous for being the only boat out for the first 3/4 of the charter.
Well over 20 Chinook to the boat, many over 20lbs, pushing a dozen coho and the rough water ironed right out to finish off our day on glass calm water
Was a pleasure guys !
Super sloppy SE winds today for the first fam jam fish of the year.
There was minimal bait on the screen but we found a pile of fish, approx 15-18 to the boat in a short 3 hour fish, two of which were pushing 25lbs. Avg size today was 14-18lbs and lots of coho as well.
I can’t believe how good fishing is so early this year, it’s just going to get better and better as the migratory fish pass by throughout summer.
Get in touch with me to book your days, let’s fish !
Amazing day on the water this morning !
Check my story if you want to see how the fishing was ! 🔥
We were tapped out 4 hours in 😅
Can’t wait to see familiar and new faces this summer and take advantage of our incredible local fishery.
Get in touch with me to book your days 🎣
Pretty pumped about contributing to a big event happening here on Vancouver island.
Whether it’s pets, working dogs or boat dogs, dogs are a huge part of my life outside fishing especially working dogs going on 20 years now.
The Vancouver Island Retriever Club (VIRC) – the longest standing club of its kind on the Island – will host the next event from Sept. 17-23 in Merville and Black Creek this fall.
IIRC over 70 top notch handlers, the best of the best from all over North America will be in attendance and competing, it’s definitely worth checking out !
Whales aren’t a rare sighting on charters here.
Both orcas and humpbacks are plentiful however this was a first!
This huge bull orca courted and bred these whales around us for over an hour !
You just never know what kind of extras you’ll get on a charter !

A couple very special days with 92 years young Little John and family. Little John they call him but he’s big energy, big personality, big smiles and hauls in big fish ! It was an absolute pleasure, they don’t make them like you anymore, fine Sir !Forever memories made and full freezers, it gets no better.See you again soon, keep that marlin chair greased and stay young, we have unfinished business out there yet 🎣 🙏..#finaticfishingcharters#letsfish#fishingcharter#comoxvalley#campbellriver#fishon#tugisthedrug#rippinlips#pnw#salmonfishing#chinook#coho#salmon#tourism#repyourwater#tripadvisor#bookem#tourismbc#fishingbc#explorebc#westcoast#getoutside#BCfishingaddicts#photography#potd#instagood#bcoutdoors#discovercampbellriver#whales @jasonaldean #trythatinasmalltown@yeti @islanderreels @reliable_fishing_products @tourismcomoxvalley @discovercampbellriver @sfiofbc @northwest_aluminumcraft @tripadvisor @vancouverislandfishclub@salty_crew @breakers.marine

Just a little over 6 weeks and we’re slammin’ salmon for retention again 🔥 Not sure about you but I ran out long ago and I can’t wait ! 🤞 the pilot program happening south of us means earlier retention opportunity for all next year in hatchery Chinook. Science and conservation efforts should be at the forefront and this was the first year there has been any indication of positive change on the horizon in quite some time 🎣 ...@reliable_fishing_products #westcoast#salmonfishing#chinook#sportfishing#tugisthedrug#oceantotable#pnw#vancouverisland#bc#fishingcharters#finaticsportfishing#letsfish
Think these young guys will remember this forever !? I sure hope so, the thought of that makes me happy ! First fish or five hundredth fish…. I’m looking forward to finding them and putting you on them… let’s fish !!
We’ve been releasing some darn nice fish this season. These last couple weeks of local fish rolling in always gets those @islanderreels spinning like no other, I love it ! I hope everyone takes the time to make sure these bruisers carry on when they’re actually ready. With such a large dogfish presence, you can guarantee dazed and sluggish fish don’t even see the bottom again, alive. Come tie into some of these hogs with me, Let’s fish ! . . . #catchandrelease#sfibc#genetics#chinnook##finaticfishingcharters#letsfish#fishingcharters#comoxvalley#campbellriver#fishon#tugisthedrug#rippinlips#pnw#salmonfishing#tourism#repyourwater#tripadvisor#bookem#tourismbc#fishingbc#explorebc#westcoast#getoutside#BCfishingaddicts#saltlife#hellobc#photography#potd#instagood#wildsalmon
The ladies are smoking the guys in the catch department so far this year ! Couple firsts and some nice fish in the high teens, couple left unseen and a bunch of other good scrappers! That sun tonight sure felt like summer too and seeing a cruise ship pass by… reminds me of years past, good to see again !
