Specializing in Campbell River Fishing Charters, Wild West Sport Fishing offers guided excursions from Comox and Campbell River, ensuring an unforgettable experience for anglers and nature enthusiasts alike.


Captain Pete is committed to providing an enjoyable and successful fishing experience, specializing in both inshore and offshore fishing techniques, with trolling as his primary method and jigging as an alternative. His trips, lasting between 6 to 8 hours, cater to enthusiasts of both inshore and offshore waters, primarily targeting Chinook Salmon, a favorite among offshore anglers, while also offering the excitement of inshore catches like Rockfish, Pacific Cod, Lingcod, and sometimes Halibut.
