Planning your fishing trip in Garibaldi just got easier, thanks to Big Johnson's Guide Service.

You won't have to travel far to fish these inshore and nearshore waters, including some spots that only the locals know about.

Your guide specializes in light tackle fishing, which is what you'll be doing on the day of your trip. You may also jig and bottom fish, bottom fish, spin for your catch. Jamison will provide rods and reels, as well as lures and live bait.

Black Seabass, Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, and more inhabit these waters if conditions are right.

Fish within size and bag limits are yours to take home. That's dinner, right there! Jamison can take groups as large as 4 on this guided experience. You'll make your way to the fishing grounds on foot, so dress accordingly and bring only as much as you can carry.

Expect to get in touch with Jamison before the trip so you know where to meet and how to get there.

Be sure to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group ahead of time. You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply. You're encouraged to dress in layers and the proper footwear (if you aren't sure what that means, just ask). It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and bottled water in any weather conditions.

This is a kid-friendly experience, so feel free to bring 'em along and pack any extras they need. Get in touch to find out if Jamison has child-sized life vests you can borrow, or bring your own.

And with that, you're ready to experience the great outdoors in Garibaldi. So make it happen, with Big Johnson's Guide Service!

Always nice to get a spring Chinook. Despite being a slower catching day, we were able to get some meat in the boat. Great crew!
