Captains Wayne and Chris are ready to show you the beauty of Vancouver Island and its world-renowned fisheries on Full Melt Charters. Our priorities are customer service, and catching fish, as our consistently positive reviews and reputation show.

Based in Sooke, BC, you'll be positioned within minutes from massive salmon and halibut, ready for the taking.
You can expect a welcoming environment, full of positivity and encouragement. Captains Wayne and Chris are very personable, and you're sure to love fishing with them!

On these trips, it's common to troll for salmon, or jig bottom fish such as halibut. Fish caught during the trip are yours to take home, so long as they're within the legal limit. Wayne and Chris will offer to clean your catch for you, or to have it taken to a processor for shipping within Canada. Now that's dinner!

Trips with Full Melt Charters are open to the whole family and children of all ages, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Captains Wayne and Chris have a long history of outdoor leadership with children, and will always have a supportive, enthusiastic and encouraging attitude with your kids.

You'll be casting lines from a 23 foot Grady-White fishing boat with room for 5 passengers. Brand New engines! It has electric down-riggers and all the essentials. You can always expect a clean boat, outfitted with top of the line fishing gear and navigational equipment. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide all the help and equipment you'll need to catch fish, and you'll notice his desire and willingness to spread his knowledge.

Captains will offer instruction and direction on how to land the fish, but the rod will be in your hands!

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is available online, or you can ask the captain.

It's always wise to bring extra layers, sunscreen, a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation.

See you on the water
