Spend the day with Salmonstrikebc Charters and let them show you what makes the fishing in Courtenay so memorable! Captain Brian will be your guide, which means you’ll tap into years of local experience.

Chinook Salmon, Halibut, various bottom fish, and more can be found in these waters, depending on the time of year. You can expect to do some spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!

You’ll be dropping lines from a 26’ Hurston Glasscraft boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with downriggers and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

If you’re traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Don’t leave home without snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

You might need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
