BobKatz Charters
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
Fantastic day with Captain Bob
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.

Captain Bob was amazing
So glad we picked Captain Bob for fishing experience, he has a huge amount of experience and local knowledge of fishing and local history. We didn’t catch our limit, but we caught some nice fish and did better than most that were complaining of lack of action. All in all, we had a great day and learned some more techniques on catching fish in an area we hadn’t tried before and for Sockeye, which is the last Salmon Species on our fishing bucket list.. Thank you Bob for a great day.

Fishing with BobCatz
Bob knew exactly what gear to use and where to take us. He led us right onto the sweet spot and when things slowed down he made adjustments and we just continued catching till we limited out both days. Overall i would say Bob is a true pro with a lifetime of experience, and i would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Great trip, great captain.
We came up from the US and fished with Bob for sockeye. Had a great time, got into fish first thing and had a fun day. He’s a good guy to chat with and learn about the area. Would book again if we come back next year.
