Newsletter – November 20, 2017

Coastal Island Fishing Adventures would like to thank everyone who joined us this year and appreciates the effort for getting friends, family and co-workers together this summer. We hope your efforts were rewarded with good weather and great fishing! For those of you who haven’t yet booked, I would like to extend my personal invitation to come and enjoy the 2018 fishing season with us. If you have any questions or simply would like a fishing report, call or email us anytime. We look forward to another great year of fishing and having you aboard to share in the excitement!

2017 Highlights:

• Coastal Island Fishing Adventures donated a 3 day fishing trip to Wounded Warriors, filmed by Feel The Rush TV and sponsored by Safari Club International Canadian Chapter (SCI Canada), Steep Island Logde and Badlands Canada September 12-15, 2017 with M.C.pl James Milton Mailman:

“Through the help of SCI I was able to go on a once in a lifetime fishing experience. CIFA generously donated this fishing trip to me as an injured Vet and I couldn’t be more thankful or honored to have been chosen. Capt. Gary Stotts is an outstanding fishing guide, who ensured we had the best possible experience, which we did. I would highly recommend Coastal Island Fishing Adventures for anyone looking for a guided fishing trip that is fun, safe, and most importantly, anyone looking for a fishing experience like no other and I had such an amazing time”.

• First time fishing, first bite, first fish – an absolute beauty – a 35lb Tyee (Chinook) by Len in July. Congratulations Len!

• Best Birthday Gift Ever for nine year old Emmett:

“Best Birthday gift ever for 9 year old Grandson-Gary was awesome. We booked a 6 hour fishing trip with Coastal Island Fishing Adventures for a birthday gift for our grandson…it was a cloudy Sunday end of Sept. 2017. By the time we got where Gary took us and the rods in the water, sun was peeking out..Grandson got a marked coho, chinook, and lost a couple of good salmon..in the end he caught a nice Chum and a nice pink..Gary was awesome when dealing with “little buddy” as he called our grandson..took time to answer all the question a 9 year old had and make sure he got “little buddy” his 1st Salmon..Grandson already is planning his next birthday with Coastal Island and wants to make it an annual birthday gift from Grandpa..maybe it will be, Thanks Gary for a wonderful day..and for making Emmett’s trip so “awesome”.

Gary is a local guide born and raised in Campbell River he told us..as we were trolling along passing other charters, you could hear the respect between other guides when they spoke to Gary, he is a very knowledgeable and likeable man..as we witnessed by all the other guides around on the water..”

• Amazing summer for Humpback Whales – we saw amazing breaches, jumps and tails!

• Feel the Rush TV featured Coastal Island Fishing Adventures and Campbell River with great June Chinook fishing! Gary hosted Feel the Rush hosts and camera crew for 2 days and you can see a short clip on front page of www.coastalislandfishingadventures.com! The full TV version was aired on in August and a link to the full show will be available on my website soon!

2018 Outlook:

• The anticipation of a big Sockeye run based on the four year cycle – 2018 should be the big year!

• Coastal Island Fishing Adventures is proud to be donating a fishing trip to Make a Wish Foundation.
