What visitors say
Peniuk's Sport Fishing Adventures is a small charter in Campbell River, and 28 of its 29 reviews are five stars. The guide has fished these waters for more than 50 years, and reviewers say that experience shows the moment the lines go down.
Several groups hooked fish almost immediately, including a 15-pound chinook within a minute. Guests describe him as patient, funny and clear with instructions, happy to work with mixed skill levels. One family let their son drive the boat and learn to read the fish finder. The boat is described as comfortable and well equipped.
Catches mentioned include chinook, coho and chum salmon, lingcod and rockfish. Humpback whales, orcas, sea lions and seals often appear between bites. Two-day trips are available, lunch can be arranged for an extra fee, and fish can go to a local packer for processing.
There are no real complaints. One tip from a reviewer: when fishing deep water, let the guide set the hook on the first few fish until you get the feel of it.
