Born and raised on the picturesque Vancouver Island, Kelly Aspinall's life has been intimately intertwined with the rhythms of the ocean. His childhood fascination with fishing burgeoned into a lifelong passion, propelling him into a fulfilling career as a guide along the stunning coastal waters of British Columbia.
-
Guiding clients on unforgettable fishing adventures, Kelly has explored the diverse landscapes that dot the province's coastline. Nestled in the heart of this maritime wonderland, he now proudly calls Tofino home. As the owner and operator of Charter Tofino, Kelly is dedicated to providing not just a fishing experience, but an opportunity for individuals to forge a deeper connection with the coastal environment.
-
Kelly's expertise in the art of fishing is complemented by his unwavering trust in Gibbs Fishing Products. Among his favorites is "The Big Shooter-Green Jellyfish," a dynamic lure paired with either a Gold Nugget or Herring Aid Skinny G. This combination serves as an excellent searching pattern when trolling for Chinook along the West Coast of Vancouver Island, perfectly mimicking the small Herring and Needlefish that often entice these majestic fish.
-
For salmon jigging, Kelly swears by the 2.5 oz MAC Fish in White Glow and Herring Aid. In scenarios where salmon gather around structures or dense bait sources like Opal Squid, these jigs consistently outperform traditional trolling methods. Whether dropping down to rocky pinnacles for Lingcod or anchored for Halibut, Kelly's top choice is the 10 oz UV Orange Black Power Paddle, a versatile and reliable option for a variety of deep-sea excursions.
-
Kelly's journey from a childhood spent by the ocean to becoming a respected figure in British Columbia's fishing and ecotourism community reflects not just a career, but a profound commitment to sharing his love for the ocean and fostering an enduring connection between people and the coastal environment. Embark on an adventure with Kelly, and let the ocean unveil its wonders in the hands of a seasoned guide and devoted environmental steward.
