Superb fishing trip with Captain Chris! Despite a bit of rain, we had a great time and brought back salmon, cod, and rockfish! The boat was well-equipped and comfortable. We even enjoyed the fish the next day at noon in a local restaurant. A real treat!

Two exceptional days of fishing with Chris Strong, an experienced and passionate guide. The weather was beautiful in August: the sea was calm as glass when we headed out to fish in the morning. Chris quickly brought us to the fishing grounds, and we reached our quota of lingcod and spring salmon both days. We spotted humpback whales and orcas several times. Chris also took us on a quick detour to Mitlenatch Island Provincial Park, home to a large seabird colony. A truly unforgettable weekend… Thanks again, Chris!

I've been on charter fishing trips before, and I can honestly say this is by far the best experience I have ever had. We were a group of seven and split the day into two equal groups: the morning for the boys (two dads and a young boy) and the afternoon for the girls (two moms and two young girls). Both groups had a great time. Chris's boat is very well-equipped, notably featuring a fully covered indoor cabin that comfortably seats three or four people and a toilet (which is very rare for charters of this size). He was knowledgeable, communicative, but above all, his passion for fishing was palpable. It's clear he loves sharing this passion, and that makes all the difference. An experience not to be missed, whether for a trip with friends or family. I highly recommend!

I highly recommend Chris and Outsider Charters for a fishing trip. Thanks to his knowledge and expertise, we had an exceptional day of fishing. My family not only had a great day, but we also spotted seals, bald eagles, humpback whales, and a bear. He was very friendly and welcoming with all of us on board. This day will remain etched in my memory.

Our experience with Outsider Charter was simply exceptional, fully deserving its 5 stars from start to finish. Not being a regular angler, I was very impressed, while my husband, an avid fisherman, was just as thrilled. Captain Chris was remarkable, ensuring a pleasant and smooth day on the water. The boat was impeccably maintained, contributing to the comfort and safety of the entire trip. We had the joy of catching beautiful chinook salmon, making this day even more memorable. The breathtaking scenery of Campbell River, British Columbia, provided an idyllic setting for our adventure. We highly recommend Outsider Charter to anyone looking for a top-notch fishing experience.
