EP 211 Gaspé Fishing Trip with Junior and David

About this episode

The episode recounts an adventure fishing for striped bass and Atlantic salmon on the Gaspé coast, highlighting the beauty of the region and the experiences shared with friends.

We head east to the legendary Gaspé coast for an unforgettable adventure chasing striped bass and Atlantic salmon. It was our first time exploring the region, except for Aldo who had been before - and the experience lived up to every bit of the hype. We were joined by our good friends Junior and David, and together we fished the rivers and coastal waters of the Gaspé while taking in the rugged beauty that makes this place so special. Along the way, we also filmed a short documentary called This Is Ours, which tells the story of the Gaspé Coastal lodge and the people connected to it. The film is currently touring in the PALM Festival and the Scale of Change festival, and this trip became a big part of that story. In this episode, we talk about first impressions of the Gaspé region, what it was like targeting striped bass and salmon in such an iconic fishery, the moments that stood out from the trip, and how the experience shaped the film. From road-trip laughs to powerful days on the water, this conversation captures the spirit of a place that quickly left its mark on all of us. If you love travel, fishing, and the stories that come from chasing fish in new places, DON'T MISS THIS…
