Eugene
Eugene has been fishing BIG fish for decades in Mexico, Cuba & Jamaica and has experienced many thrilling battles with dorado/mahi-mahi, sailfish, bluefin tuna, marlin, and shark.
With travel virtually eliminated during Covid-19, he discovered a new passion in his own backyard - sturgeon sport fishing. Once he ran the Fraser River he knew it was an experience that everyone could enjoy and have easy access to.
Eugene has a knack for finding the best spots and getting his clients hooked on everything from massive sturgeon to elusive salmon. His passion for fishing and his expertise in the sport have made him a favourite among our clients and a respected figure in the local fishing community.
