Default Links to business listing no longer valid on thread

-Just wanted to advise that the links to the past brokerage listing may be active for a short while yet, but the brokerage listing is no longer valid.

Direct inquiries and dealings now the best option for interested parties.

Excellent Fishing right now and another great season ahead.

Sorry I missed this post David...Have been on an extended hunt in the Peace and avoiding the computer.
I'm surprised to hear that episode was aired recently as I have not heard of it for a while. It sure can be a blast casting streamers and poppers to the Black Bass when they are going crazy. We released many over 5 pounds, with one helping me break a 10 wt on the hook set..?..Locating and catching Lings on the Fly is a lot like hunting Mulies, once you find them there is often more than one and usually a big cranker in the mix
Filming and Fishing with Brian is always good,



but I was pretty disappointed with the Show managers who chose not to air the Coho Show we filmed, which included stunning weather, scenery and an 18 pound Hook nosed Chrome Hawg that I cast to and battled for 15 minutes. It was suspended under a Ball of Needlefish in 80 feet of water that we located on the sounder and all went pretty well textbook (not including the 200 casts that it took to weed through all others to get this huge Coho) Brian was surprised too, but not our decision on what they air.
-Am just working out dates for this summer to film again with Sportfishing BC for a show or two and maybe one other show with a group I have not filmed with yet. They have heard how hot the fishing has been on the Island over the past few years and want to get in on it, especially with another great forecast for 2012. I Might do another Fly in Freshwater show with one of them,,,not too sure at this point though.
Will send you a PM about an idea I have, and hope all is good for you..

-A little off topic from the thread about my business opportunity for sale, and I will post updated information on that shortly.

Default New Information on Business for Sale

Following 2011 season, the 3rd strongest for business and likely the best overall for fishing in the past 16 years, we are confident that this turn-key business opportunity will be the right fit for someone looking for a lifestyle change or solid investment until they are ready to operate hands on. After hosting approximately 30,000 anglers over the years, this business is poised to either run status quo, or expand in the vibrant Marine Tourism market. Due to ongoing health issues, we are now forced to make adjustments to the asking price to expedite an ownership transaction. A very extensive package of information, assets and financials is prepared and ready for perusal by qualified parties.

Highlights
• Prime Highway Exposure in Tofino BC
• Very Established Turn Key Business opportunity that includes Outfitting and Retail operations.
• Current sales stronger than 6 yr average for both fishing charters and retail sales
• Six prime moorage spaces at Tofino's 4th Street Harbour included
• Very Strong walk-in traffic for on-the-spot charter bookings
• Quality fleet of offshore and inshore vessels, gear and equipment
• Tofino is BC's premier marine tourism destination
• One of BC’s most consistent Fisheries coupled with very consistent tourism
• Business can be purchased with or without 2 great Real Estate options

Description
Located in Tofino' s Gateway Corridor and extensively renovated in 2009, this prime highway frontage property is zoned Comprehensive Development which allows for charter operation, cafe, art gallery, personal service establishments, retail commercial, and residential above ground floor. Seasonal business allows for flexible lifestyle. Property boasts a functional 450 square feet of commercial space, large covered deck for additional retail display, dedicated bathroom, oversized parking lot, 800 square foot interior storage area, back lot storage with space for 6 vessels/trailers and a 2 bedroom residence. Property and outfitting company are both for sale OR Outfitting company may be purchased separately ($495,000+retail stock) with long term lease options available for property. Property is not for sale independent of charter business. Reason for Sale: Owner's Health issues.

Tofino is one of British Columbia's key destinations with the visitor count of the Pacific Rim National Park topping 1 million annually. Historically a logging and fishing village, Tofino has become world renowned as a center for tourism activities such as salmon and halibut fishing, surfing, whale watching, spa-getaways, gourmet west coast dining, camping and hiking. Tofino is located within the most pristine landscape in Canada and is surrounded by the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) Biosphere Reserve. Clayoquot Ventures Guide Service is Tofino's Most Recommended Full Service Sport Fishing Outfitter since 1996.

We are happy to provide basic details to interested parties who are considering this opportunity, prior to entering into a Confidentiality and Disclosure agreement for extensive information package. There are no brokers or realtors involved, but consideration would be made to assisted exposure that leads to a business sale transaction.
There are further basics available on these websites for the Commercial property and Outfitting/Retail Business as well as our Private Guesthouse Business opportunity. These properties can be purchased in a tiered package that reflects decreased package pricing.

E-mail direct is better than inquiries by PM or call direct Toll Free 1-888-534-7422

Thanks for your interest, and in the meantime, we are preparing for another busy season in 2012..
Below are a few images of what we do and where we do it.......

We have had a few people asking if this business is still on the market. With a couple of deals pending, we are still open to new dialogue and interest. Approx one month left in what looks to be our best or second best year, regardless of various catch and regulations that don't seem to effect interest very much. Open for dialogue and discussion.....

Default New Brokerage information and priced to sell

Clayoquot Ventures - Tofino Fishing is still available for sale after recent agreement dissolved due to financing.

Having just completed our Second best season in 17 years, it has been very appealing to try and continue but this is no longer our choice due to indefinite time lines of non-involvement as owner/operator provided by medical process.

New Business and Real Estate brokerage information will be available here within the next two weeks. Meanwhile, we are entertaining new serious interests with all reasonable offers considered for this turn key opportunity based in B.C.'s most popular Marine destination. Partial Vendor financing considered, along with an aggressive lease structured for Business only sale.

Prime timing now, to arrange for ownership to move into the 2013 season

Call toll free 1-888-534-7422 or e-mail us direct for further info

Default Business for Sale PDF

Updated information regarding Business and Real Estate for Sale profiles are within the PDF attachment below. Resolution on images are poor due to compression of PDF to fit within the forum. High res and further detailed information available to be sent upon request.

Considerations to facilitate Business transaction have been to:

- remove retail component
and/or
-remove a vessel from asset list if necessary for financing

Very stable Business, but unstable Health forcing this Sale.
