Sorry this is so late - but Max was a great fishing guide and host. He accommodated all our requests for fishing (check), whale watching (check), swimming (check). In fact, he took us all the way to desolation sound to show us a beautiful cove with a waterfall. All 4 of us (including my 6 and 8 year old sons) jumped off the boat and swam to the waterfall. When my son cut himself on the rocks, Max had a first aid kit ready and took great care of him. The only downside was that we were unable to find anyone to cook our salmon for us - and we were not staying in a place with a kitchen ourselves - but Max tried his hardest and placed a bunch of calls to try to help us out. Thanks again for a great trip!…

Max took me and my family out for a great day on the water. He took us to an awesome swimming hole with and endless bottom. Seen some seals, sea lions and ended our adventure watching a humpback swim around with the beautiful sunset in the background. All in all, it was a fantastic day! …

Max was a great guide, a great captain and very easy to get along with. He is very knowledgeable of fishing and the Campbell River area. I’ve been out with him three years in a row now and I’m excited to go out again in 2019 with him. Max went out of his way on several occasions to make sure we had a good experience and of course got fish in the boat. When the fish were biting he made sure we took advantage of it and when they weren't biting he has made the decision to move to a different location which has ended up working out great. We all had a great time with him and all got to catch fish. Max has a great boat, had all the gear needed for fishing and keep it all in great condition to make sure the fishing experience goes as good as it can. I would highly recommend using Max for any of your fishing needs in Campbell River and know I will be back in his boat again.…

Hard to know where to start, so first a quick list tick with details to follow. Max was exemplary in all things I want from a guide: knowledgeable, friendly, reponsive to communication inquiries, and a great fisherman! Book with him, if you can, you will not regret it! Went fishing with my family, including my Dad, ages 7-75. All had fun, but my highlight was when Max patiently coached my son into landing his first King (Chinook) salmon. That was priceless! Max was honest when I called and told me that we were in a tough part of the season. However, he also told me that if anyone could get us on fish he could. Both turned out to be true. At one point we we had on board one of two Chinooks that we saw caught all day. Things picked up late in the day and Max graciously prolonged our trip so that we could make the most of it. Gorgeous scenery, great fishing, and a fun and relaxing day on a well maintained boat, with equally well maintained gear. What's not to love? A highlight of our marvelous tour on Vancouver Island! I hope to fish with Max again someday, and if my son has anything to say about it, I probably will.…
