Guide Keith Temple
I would like to welcome Guide Keith Temple to the Adrenaline Sportfishing team. I guided along side Keith for many years at prestegious lodge North of Prince Rupert, where I learned a great deal from him. Keith has been a guide in Chatham Sound for over a decade, and is an expert and professional in every sense of the words. For those of you lucky enough to have Keith as your guide, you will enjoy his sense of humour, as well as his keen focus and true passion for catching fish. When Keith isn't guiding, he enjoys hunting and river fishing. He has also been a Steelhaed guide for many years on some of the most famous rivers of British Columbia. 
I recently had the opportunity to fish with Keith and his wife I.J., and we had quite an adventure. We hooked a halibut that was upwards of a hundred pounds, and had quite the job on our hands of landing such a fish on our light Salmon mooching rod. With our combined abilities we managed to boat the beast. I am excited to have Keith guiding for us, and wish all that fish with us this year all the success and luck for the upcomming season!
Tight Lines,
Capt. Matt

Our 2010 Fishing season is just around the corner, and I am counting down the days until I have the opportunity to put some lucky guests onto a powerful Chinook Salmon, or monster Halibut! Preperations are now being made to anticipate full customer satisfaction, from boat comfort, to gear and tackle selection. Bookings are coming in, but many great dates are still available. Contact us for date requests. Predictions for 2010 are strong for all species of Salmon, as well as Halibut in Chatham Sound. Come and see all that our great region has to offer!

August round up
August proved to be a successful month for several guests of Adrenaline Sportfishing, with most groups catching limits of Cohos, Halibut, and even the odd late season Chinook salmon. Weather played a bit of a role, with some windy days, but overall, August had a fair bit of sun to go with the fanatastic fishing aboard the Dundas Kid.
The Massiers from Quesnel, BC, with their limit of Salmon, and Halibut.
Harley Wright with Michelle and Dustin with there limit of nice size Halibut, largest being 40 pounds, and a few other bottom fish after a beautiful day in Chatham Sound.
The Krpan's with a mixed bag of Salmon, Halibut and Rock Fish.
The Dixon's after a great late August day. Young Rain's(very fitting name for a boy living in Prince Rupert!) arms were sore by the end of the day!
Mike Pucci with the first fish of a fun day aboard the Dundas Kid.
There were many smiles and laughs had aboard the Dundas Kid, as many happy guest enjoyed the great opportunities offered in beautiful Chatham Sound in August.

Another Great Fishing Trip- No Bananas P
I met the Mike Palmer group-Dustin, Max, Stacey, and Mike of course- for a couple of great days of Salmon and Halibut fishing. We left the harbour at 6 a.m. and headed west to do some Salmon fishing. On the way out, Stacey reached into his lunch bag and pulled out a banana. BAD LUCK!! I told him how banana's should never be on board a boat. No big deal, just superstision, right? Once at our fishing destination, I set the first rod down, and instantly we were into our first Chinook of the day! Bad luck Bananas, yeah right!! Dustin landed the Chinook, a nice one in the high teens. We caught a few Cohos, then the Killer Whales showed up, sending us out to the Halibut grounds. We faired alright in the rough, swelly water, landing a couple of chicken size Halibut. Suddenly, something a little more substantual grabbed our bait. This seemed to have a little more weight behind it. Dustin battled a huge Ling Cod of 42 pounds to the boat! Fish of the day honors went to Dustin with this one! We caught our limit of halibut, and headed back to smoother waters, as the wind was picking up, to catch a few more Salmon. We fished for a little longer, landing 3 more stunning Cohos, before heading back home for the day.
Day 2 proved to be a much nicer weather day, so we headed north to try our Salmon luck once again. We fished for Salmon, and had a graet morning, hooking 5 nice Chinooks, and numerous Cohos. Our fish box was looking pretty good by mid day- 2 nice Chinooks, and 8 dime bright Cohos.
Dustin once again was in the running for fish of the day with his 24 pound Chinook. We once again headed for the Halibut grounds, when suddenly our prop spun, making it impossible for us to do more than 8 knots. Those banans were kicking in. We limped out to a Halibut spot a hadn't fished this year, and set out some bait. No bites for a long while. A 20 pound halibut suddenly took the bait. Things went quiet again, real quiet. Nothing was happening, and things were slow. Max went inside and came out with a huge bag of bananas, and started throwng them away. What a great idea! He then found some banana peels, and turfed them over the side as well. No word of a lie, just 2 minutes passed, and suddenly we had a bite, and it was a good one! Mike powered in a big halibut, that got the harpoon once it hit the surface.
Mike was all smiles as he stole fish of the day honors from Dustin with his 62 pound Halibut.
A big thanks to Max for removing all traces of Bananas from the Dundas Kid!!
What a great finish to a great couple of days!
