Default Salmon fishing special, including flights.

Ok here goes,
We are blowing out all remaining dates in May.
$2,500/person (based on 4 per boat)
And I will include air from any city in Alberta for everyone.

Fishing is good at this time of year. We will be targeting large Chinook and Hali's.

This is 3 days fishing, 3 nights at our waterfront lodge and all meals. It's a full blown Salmon fishing trip.

I will post up the pic of the Monster we nailed during the same time frame from last year.

I want these trips gone and I want you to come fishing.

Don't hesitate. First guys to get in a deposit get them.
Call me direct for more information.

Jamie

What a crazy day. 12 people have taken advantage of this deal.
Available time is slipping away.
I will post up available dates in the AM once I get everyone confirmed.

Thanks for all the support guys.

Ok.. After a mad rush of booking this is what is left.
2 boats may 19-21
One boat may 22-24
One boat may 25-27

As well, I have June 1-4 open for 2 boats. But that is a 4 day trip at a different price point.

Finally, I am afraid I have to pull the Airfare portion of this offer.
The Airlines have raised prices as we get closer.
However I did some digging today and came up with a even cheaper go round for our clients.
Fly into terrace from most anyplace in Alberta and the price is only $520/person
That will make your whole trip someplace around $2,000/person.
Call me for details.

My offer is now is fishing only at $1,500/person based on 4/boat.

Seems kind of bogus to pull one part of the offer only a few days after offering it. If you're going to offer that talk to the airlines before and arrange something? Kind of sounds like you were flying by the seat of your pants on this offer. Worries me a bit about booking with you as what if everything is kind of by seat of pants?

Default Only to nip this in the Bud.

This is so far from a seat of your pants operation .
Commercial flights cannot be booked on speculation.
These prices are fantastic for the experience to be had ,
$672.50 a day all in ...not good ..? Can't help you .
AO got first dibs ....

Fishin, I just looked. It seems the prices are back for for Rupert.
What you need to understand, is that I can not control the airlines.
I tried to pre purchase passes and they wouldn't let me.
We are not big enough to offer private planes either.
The best I could do for my clients was to watch out for sales.
As it was, 4 A/O members took advantage and are very happy to have saved this cash.

If your serious about fishing the west coast, call me and we will work with you to get you the best possible flights at the cheapest rates, but as I said, I can not controll the Airlines.

BTW I just got a text from another group of AO members who are flying. They paid $375/person for flights. Don't think to long, lets get you out here.

Call me on my cell.

Jamie, no offence, but you got the wrong guy holding the fish in your sig!

Never actually seeing Ken, from the description I've compiled from this forum I'm am going to take a stab and say that would be him.

Congrats on the fishin, I might make it out that way with my Pop this year.


Edit: Now that I've read the entire thread I've confirmed my suspicions, but you still got the wrong guy holding the fish!!!

Yes, that is Ken. His very first Salmon! It was a smasher of a fish and a heck of a pic.
You should come out with your Pop. Nothing beats this type of Adventure for Dads and Sons.
Call I you would like a bit more information.

My first chinook was 38lbs, awesome fish.

We've done several salmon trips, and quite a few sturgeon trips as well. I'm about catching big fish, Pops, he likes eating them! We usually go out at least once a year, once we get timing nailed down I'll give you a shout.

Today's group booked out of Calgary for Mid June at

Good lord it's like they are giving away airfare to the best Salmon grounds in BC right now.

This is your chance!

What an amazing deal Jamie. Sure wish I had the time to come out this month.
I sure hate when work gets in the way of my hunting & fishing plans.
