What better way to discover the famous waters around Vancouver Island than with a local guide? Captain Bobby Kimoto can't wait to show you his native waters. His family has been fishing the Pacific Northwest since the 1900s, so fishing is in his blood. Nobody knows these waters better than him, so come aboard and make all your fishing dreams come true.
Step aboard his 25' Pursuit cuddy cabin boat and let the magic begin. There's plenty of space for up to 5 people and all of you will get to fish at the same time when bottom fishing. There's plenty of convenient space to sit as you head out to the sweet spots, and you'll even have use of a full head toilet, for your convenience.
The boat features Scotty downriggers, Islander reels and Shimano Technium Rods that are used while trolling to spread your lines. You'll utilize a range of artificial lures, frozen bait and may even have some live bait to fish with depending on where and when you fish.
The Pacific nearshore and offshore waters here are overflowing with some of the world's best-tasting, most sought-after fish.
Get ready for some heavy lifting as you target some record-sized Halibut in the deep waters, and get ready to use all your skills to keep Salmon on the end of the line. Rockfish and Lingcod may prove to be a little less of a challenge, but they'll leave an equally delicious taste on your pallet at the end of the day.
Capt. Bobby is passionate about introducing the next generation to fishing – he even claims to have raised his own kids on the water! Bring the whole family on board for a thrilling day out and get everyone hooked on fishing. Just buy your fishing license online, bring some appropriate clothing, and get ready for a trip

Bobby Kimoto is a friendly, 4th generation fisherman who will do everything he can think of to give you a good day on the water. We saw a beautiful part of the world, talked about local history end biology, pivoted when conditions were challenging, we caught salmon and 4 types of rockfish and saw sea otters, sea lions and sea birds. Bobby showed us technique, took pictures, and found a place to cook our catch. A great day on the water.
Thank you Rick and Tracy for the opportunity to show both of you a west coast fishing experience and I hope you enjoy your catch! Have a wonderful travel home and until next time, best always!!
On our 25th anniversary we booked a 6 hour day with Bobby Kimoto Charters. We met him at the marina at 8am and after the initial pleasantries the next thing Bobby said was, "This is your fishing experience and I want you to tell me what you want". After that it was all about us. His knowledge of the waters around Tofino after spending his entire life guiding here was more than evident, as with more than an hour left in our 6 hour day, we were 'tubbed out!' Bobby would take us to one of his spots, drop our lines and within minutes sometimes even seconds it was 'fish on'. He did this time and time again and we started to even be selective as, at the rate we were going we would surely catch more. The other thing that impressed us was his obvious love for this area and careful attention to protecting the habitat. It was a perfect day of fishing, under blue skies, no wind and Bobby's guidance. We spent the rest of the day telling stories, laughing and becoming good friends, a truly epic 25th. Thank you Bobby! Berva & Kenni
I am happy that your experience with me was positive and I look forward to us fishing together again! Thank you and enjoy your catch!!
We had a beautiful day on the water with Bobby! Fish weren't biting too much but Bobby kept our morale up and we ended up catching 3 salmons, plus a load of prawns and a couple crabs. Communication was great and smooth from beginning to end. Bobby is a super nice and knowledgeable captain, he will share his knowledge and make you feel very comfortable if this is your first time charter fishing.
Thank you for your kind review. I am very impressed with all of your adventurous spirit in making the journey out to Tofino from Toronto to experience the west coast. I hope you enjoyed eating your catch during your stay and have pleasant memories of your visit to the Pacific. Best wishes in France!
Had an amazing experience! My wife and I have very little experience and Bobby was very patient and made us feel comfortable from the get go. We caught a bunch of fish! Bobby is the best guide and went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. 5 star experience, highest recommendations! If you're lucky enough to snag a day he has available, you won't regret it!
I am happy to hear that you both had a positive experience. I hope that you enjoy your catch in many meals ahead and I look forward to fishing with you both again!
We went out on a 5 hour trip for winter springs. Bobby was very personable and very knowledgeable about the area and fishing in general. We hooked two springs but unfortunately we (or I) were unable to land them. The trip was still productive with the prawn traps producing very well. Although we did not land any salmon we enjoyed our trip on the water. We were fortunate to see a Grey Whale, many sea otters and Stellar Sea-lions. It is called fishing - and catching is not always part of the trip. No regrets and we would go again with Bobby Kimoto.
Thank you Tom for giving me the opportunity to show you and your wife the area on a beautiful December day. I hope you enjoy eating the prawns!
