Zeballos, BC
Gibran has been both a fresh and saltwater fishing guide starting at the early age of 18 and has done that for 35 years now, still operating and living on Vancouver Island. Gibran is currently the Head Guide for Reel Obsession Sport Fishing, located in the heart of Zeballos. Reel Obsession operates a fleet of fully guided offshore boats on the west coast and offers everything from light tackle in-shore buck tailing for large Coho to 50 mile off shore Albacore tuna trips as well as everything in between. Gibran takes great pride in being able to share his knowledge and experience with the youth of our industry of tomorrow, both through the training of younger up and coming guides as well as taking his own kids and their friends fishing on a regular basis. Gibran is heavily involved with enhancement and habitat projects up and down the island, including community-based volunteer projects, which again involve dealing with and educating our youth of the importance of maintaining and managing the future of wild salmon stocks on Vancouver Island and as an active member of SFAC.
