LIMITED TO 128 ANGLERS

North America’s Largest Cash Jackpot Salmon Tournament

$ 350,000 CDN Prize pool, $ 115,000 CDN Grand Prize for Largest Tournament Chinook (King) caught

An International Game Fishing Association Qualifying Event

All fish stories are about the big one that got away, but on June 1, 2007 the big one, a 45.4 lbs. Chinook was reeled in by Aaron Anderson of Portland Oregon, netting him the grand prize of $ 110,000 at the 2007 Salmon Masters Tournament.

Now Booking for 2008

Back by Popular Demand: Join us on May 28th thru June 1st, 2008 when three of West Coast Resorts' premier lodges compete for a $ 350,000 cash prize pool. And one lucky angler will take home $ 115,000 for the largest Chinook salmon caught, and enjoy a seat in the IGFA Offshore Championship Tournament – in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

The choice is yours. Catch results at each location are statistically similar. All three locations consistently produce prize winning Chinook (King) salmon in early June. It’s truly anyone’s guess where the winning fish will be caught. But there is one thing you can be sure of; whichever location you choose - Tasu, Englefield Bay or Whale Channel the Salmon Masters Tournament is guaranteed to be the fishing event of the year!

SALMON MASTER SATELLITE TOURNAMENT The Lodge at Walters Cove

The 32.2 pound Chinook won them a trip for two for the 2008 Salmon Masters Tournament, at Englefield Bay. They will also be representing West Coast Resorts at the annual IGFA Offshore Championships in Cabo San Lucas in 2008. CONGRATULATIONS!

Fish, laugh, and fall in love all over again during the 4th Annual Couples Gourmet Getaway & Winemakers Dinner.

Join West Coast Resorts' Lodge at Whale Channel or Milbanke Sound for four-days of fishing, wine tasting, sumptuous cuisine, and live music. Explore and learn more about the "World of Wine". On the third evening, couples will sit down to an exquisite six-course Winemakers Dinner, specially prepared by our Executive Chef, and paired with award-winning wines. Optional cooking demonstrations will also be held during two of the afternoons.

A spectacular setting: At this time of year on the west coast, we see brilliant sunrises and sunsets, traveling pods of whales and porpoises - and calmer water fishing. This trip offers a great balance of his & hers activities both on and off the water. Get away from it all, indulge your senses, enjoy the remote setting, and the fantastic fishing.

His & Hers Return Trip- will be awarded to the lucky couple that catches the largest Chinook during the trip.
Special prizes and gifts included for all guests.

The 4th Anuual Messina Family Fishing Classic was a huge success.  Anglers ranging in age from 8-81 enjoyed four days of incredible fishing at Whale Channel.

We had 6 fish tip the scales at over 40 lbs!  Junior angler Marc Thomsen claimed the Grand Prize of a free trip back to next year’s MFC for him and his Dad, Ric, by landing a whopping 51 lb spring on Saturday!  Minutes after this fish was weighed in Marc Walters came in with a 50 lb spring that he caught on his 50th birthday!  Some people know how to celebrate things right!  The junior anglers in the tournament did really well.  Special mention goes to Bobby Widdifield and Jesse Mast who caught 40 lb and 42 lb fish respectively.  Well done guys! Good fun was had by all and most have rebooked for next years event already but if you have some family members who want to have fun and fish for prizes at the next MFC give us a call soon!  Space is already limited.

Enjoy this one-of-a-kind fishing trip at the Lodge at Whale Channel - where the waters are more protected and offer fishing fun for the whole family. So get the Family involved, create new memories, and spend quality time together during our 5th Annual Messina Fishing Classic in 2008. Space is limited, inquire about availability.
