Blackbeard Fishing Charters
A small Campbell River salmon charter with near-perfect reviews, known for a friendly, knowledgeable captain, smooth booking and good catches of chinook and coho even on slow days.
What visitors say
Blackbeard Fishing Charters is a Campbell River salmon charter where nearly every review is five stars. Guests describe the captain as friendly, relaxed and experienced, with a good sense of humour and a solid grasp of where to fish. One group noted booking was seamless from the start.
Anglers report limits of chinook (springs), plus coho, pinks and the odd lingcod. Several reviews mention that he found fish on days when other boats were struggling, and one group said the action slowed mid-trip before finishing with double headers.
It's popular with families on holiday and with visitors who come back year after year. One family fished the waters south of Quadra Island at sunrise with whales around the boat, and others were glad to head home with fish for the freezer.
There's very little in the way of complaints. As with any charter, catches depend on the day, so go in expecting a good experience rather than a guaranteed limit.
