    Great Fishing Experience

    4 Hour Trip on May 17, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Jon is a great captain - he is very knowledgeable and knows fishing techniques. Definitely recommend him if you're looking to do fishing in Tofino His boat is very nice and very clean We booked a 4-hour trip with him, and he did everything to provide us with a unique fishing experience. His knowledge and experience helped us to catch Chinook Salmon and rockfish Will definitely rebook with Captain Jon next time we're back in Tofino.

    July fishing trip

    4 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on July 9, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Jon was fantastic. He worked hard throughout the trip to put us on fish and never stopped trying, despite challenging conditions and having 2 kids on board. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on our side—cold, windy, and rainy… typical Tofino! We had three bites, including one confirmed coho salmon, but unfortunately none made it into the boat. We did catch two crabs, which was a nice bonus. Although the fishing itself was a bit disappointing, we still had a great time. The wildlife viewing was outstanding, with sea otters making frequent appearances and a close encounter with a bald eagle . Overall, a good experience thanks to Captain Jon’s effort and professionalism. I’d gladly fish with him again under better weather conditions.

    Great fishing

    6 Hour Trip on September 21, 2026 • 2 adults

    Jon was outstanding. We caught our quota of coho within the first 10 minutes of fishing, then went on to jig for lingcod (of which we caught 3 sizeable ones) and assorted rockfish of which 5 were keepers. Highly recommended.

    Great Captain and fantastic west coast experience.

    6 Hour Trip on May 17, 2024 • 2 adults

    the sea was rough and Jon did a great job of maneuvering the boat. We caught rock fish as early season for fishing. Jon tailored the trip to our preferences including crap traps, eagle sightings, touring around the islands and fishing. Jon is friendly and can talk on any subject. he also can clean fish in under 60 seconds. Coming back in June and we booked Jon on his boat Prime Time again.

    We have charted fishing trips in the past, but I’ve never had one like this one. The boat captain was experienced knowledgeable of the area and very patient. We will recommend him to all our friends.

    4 Hour Trip on July 14, 2025 • 3 adults

    Had a great morning on the water with Captain Jon. Caught some Coho, listened to some great tunes, saw some wildlife (eagles, sea lions, and a beach cow)! And the scenery is breathtaking!

    Had a blast!

    6 Hour Trip on July 24, 2024 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Jon did a great job putting my family on the fish today. We caught salmon and a limit of halibut. Jon also took time to show us some wildlife on the way in since we caught our fish so quick. Overall, a fantastic experience and a great guide. We will be back to fish with Jon!

    The best captain and boat I’ve had in BC

    6 Hour Trip on August 18, 2022 • 2 adults

    Can’t recommend highly enough. Jon is fantastic for both beginners and experts. Knows the secret fishing spots and the wildlife (he can also take you on a non-fishing wildlife tour with amazing tricks like knowing where to spot eagles). He is also an interesting person to talk to. Great, very comfortable boat. We were worried about seasickness and he was extremely accommodating to start off in the sound and then the open ocean. On a clear day it was perfect in both places with comfortable chairs on board and no issues. I’ve been on a few out here, Jon’s the guy to go to!

Great Trip and a Bald Eagle!
6 Hour Trip on June 10, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

The weather wasnt the most cooperative and the seas were a but rough but we still came up with 3 Coho salmon, a chinook salmon, 2 rockfish and 6 crabs. Huge bonus was a bald eagle swooping down to grab a fish off of our boat. Saw otters and sea lions as well. My 7 year old and wife enjoyed the trip. Jon worked hard to make it all happen - he was great!

Amazing trip with Captain Jon
6 Hour Trip on June 2, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

My family had an amazing trip with Captain Jon! I fish extensively in San Diego and found Jon to be very knowledgeable, patient, and at the same time completely locked in and worked hard to get us on the fish and help us spot wildlife. We caught a Chinook Salmon, several halibut, and some crab as well. I would not hesitate to book a fishing trip with Captain Jon.
