I booked this trip for my husband and 17 year old son. Communication was easy and immediate in planning the trip. The location was easy to find and the boys caught the first fish within 45 mins of being on the water. We have done 3 charters and this was by far the best and most successful. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

A relaxing Fishing Trip
3 hour Sunset bite Nanaimo on August 8, 20252 adults
I have been on a few fishing trips and what makes Branden stand out is his calm approach. We caught just 3 fish and had to throw back 2 of them. No one was catching much this evening, but the water was super calm, the air was perfect temperature and the thin clouds were dancing with the sun, making the evening magical. It was fantastic.
Reported catch:
Crab
Pink Salmon
Coho Salmon
