Explore Barclay Sound and Alberni Inlet with BobKatz Charters! Captain Bob has been fishing in these waters for decades and knows them like the back of his palm. Being on the water is what always relaxes him, but even more, he loves to share his knowledge with other people and show them why catching fish got him hooked for life.

You'll be fishing on a 28' Grady White that accommodates up to 5 guests. This angler boat is powered by twin 200 HP Mercury engines and reaches the speed of 26 knots. The boat is equipped with navigational electronics, so you can count on always being where the fish are and getting there with ease. There is also a private toilet, a live bait tank, a cooler, and downriggers.

The trips are available during summer months and you can go after Chinook, Coho, and Sockeye Salmon, which you'll mainly target by trolling. It's a fun waiting game, as you'll enjoy a slow ride until something bites.

You can release the catch or keep it if you're planning to have a delicious meal afterward. The captain will clean and fillet your fish free of charge. All fishing equipment is included in the price but you need to cover your fishing licenses, food, and drinks.

Brung your loved ones and enjoy a fun day on the water! Bob Kayz Charters welcome you aboard!

6 Hour Trip – Alberni Inlet on June 15, 20264 adults

We had a fantastic day with Captain Bob. Seasoned Captain that knows the Alberni Inlet inside out . Great knowledge and equipment to put us on the fish . Its very early in the Sockeye season ( June 15 2026 ) and so some days better than others . Our day happened to be insanely good . Hit the boat limit by the end of the day ( 4 sockeye salmon per fisher ) Myself and my three brothers got our four fish each, and also lost a few more as barbless hooks are used . Average fish , 5-6 lbs , with a few of them being 7-9 lbs . It was great fun . Bob cleaned the fish for us . Very professional , prompt , ( 6 am start sharp) and great person ! i would do this trip in a second again next time i make the trek from Newfoundland . Very reasonable price . I highly recommend Captain Bob , from Bob Katz charters .

Reported catch:
Sockeye Salmon

Bob was first class and got us onto fish right away. There was three people in our group and everyone caught their limit both days. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend Bob.

Fantastic day with Captain Bob
6 Hour Trip – Alberni Inlet on August 28, 20252 adults1 child

What a great morning, met at the Harbour. Off we went nice and early had bites right away! Caught 4 huge chinook salmon. Very knowledgeable and had great chats. Boat was awesome and fulfilled our needs. We had 2 adults and one 12 year old . Had all the gear to pull in the big salmon. Saw sea lions, eagles and a tug boat bringing in logs to shore. Would highly recommend Bob and BobKatz charter in Port Alberni.

Reported catch:
Chinook Salmon
