Jeff Hsiao•
British Columbia, CanadaMember since 20265.0VerifiedNewGreat experience ! 10/10 would book again
Full Day Trip on August 26, 2026 • 2 adultsPerfect highlight to our vacation. Although I fell ill to sea sickness and had to cut our day short, captain Laurier was very kind and considerate. We started our day strong and were put onto fish very quickly despite unfavorable weather conditions. Captain Laurier's experience and local knowledge is second to none, his boat and equipment are all in top notch condition. We felt cared for and looked after every minute we were on his vessel. I would definitely recommend jigging for bait fish to use as live bait as its very interactive and exciting. I will definitely book this charter again in the future.
Sebastien Mealha•Manitoba, CanadaMember since 20265.0VerifiedNewAmazing trip
4 hour trip (PM) on August 24, 2026 • 2 adultsHad a very successful and very fun trip with Laurier. Overall it was a very exciting experience that had our adrenaline pumping every second of the trip. At one point, Laurier got a salmon on both rods for my spouse and I to reel in at the same time. Huge salmon, and proven that he knows the waters and has a ton of experience. At one point I got sea sick so he brought us to a place with calmer waters and still landed us salmon. He knows the spots! Bonus, he took us to see a sea otter as well as a momma bear and her two cubs. Highly recommend!

4 hour trip (PM) on July 11, 2026 • 1 adultWhat an amazing day! I went on this fishing trip one-on-one with the captain, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. The fishing was fantastic, but what made the trip truly special was being so close to nature. Seeing bears on the shoreline and sea lions in the wild was just incredible. The captain was super friendly, explained everything along the way, and made sure I had a great time from start to finish. At the end of the trip, he even filleted and vacuum-packed all of my fish, which was a huge bonus. Even with the rainy weather, it was absolutely worth it. I had an unforgettable day and would book this trip again without hesitation. Highly recommended! Frank from Germany

Half Day Trip (PM) on August 27, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenTook out my family (kids 9 and 6). Captain was patient and engaging with my kids, helping to keep them engaged and happy. He put us on fish. We only ended up pulling in 1 salmon, but that’s how it goes sometimes. We saw 3-4 bears throughout the trip - which my kids loved. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon out on the water. Book this without hesitation!
Benoit Russell•Quebec, CanadaMember since 20265.0VerifiedPerfect Fishing Evening
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 22, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childWe had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Laurier and couldn’t have asked for a better first experience! I took my three sons, and Captain Laurier was friendly and worked hard to put us on the fish. We caught some beautiful fish, and the excitement on my boys’ faces made it a day we’ll never forget. Everything was perfect. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter with an outstanding captain, I highly recommend Captain Laurier. Thank you for giving our family such a memorable evening.
Carl ElgarioRepeat angler•Alberta, Canada•Member since 20262 trips5.0VerifiedAbove and beyond expectations!
Full Day Trip on August 1, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Laurier is probably one of the hardest working guides out there. He tirelessly checked rods, lines and lures to ensure we had the best chance of catching fish as much as possible, and he got us on tons of different species - halibut, rockfish, lingcod and salmon - even when the fishing was tough and the conditions weren't optimal. I already want to go on another charter with him, and I'm definitely looking forward to booking again with Big Bite Charters!!

4 hour trip (PM) on August 18, 2026 • 2 adultsCapt Laurier and his partner were amazing. Bilingual, patient and courteous, we couldn’t ask for a better crew. Laurier was actively checking the lines and moving to find the fish. We both caught our limit of Chinook. We will be back!
Liam Erbiceanu•British Columbia, CanadaMember since 20265.0VerifiedNewGenuinely outstanding!
4 hour trip (PM) on August 20, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Laurier was incredible. Took me and my friend out off the coast of Ukee and came back with 4 Massive Chinook. Quite literally hit our stamp limit in the first 2 ½ hours of fishing. Couldn't recommend anyone more.

Full Day Trip on August 5, 2026 • 2 adultsMy son and I had the ultimate experience fishing experience thanks tonCapt Lauriette. He was awesome and this trip is unforgettable. The Capt really worked hard to give us the experience we wanted. We caught our limit of Chinnook and Coho, a ton of rockfish and we even headed to deeper waters for a halibut. The experience could not have been better.

4 hour trip (PM) on July 21, 2026 • 1 adultI had a great afternoon fish with Laurier, I had told him I wanted to try and catch salmon before the trip…. I got two, one caught on the tiny squid rod which doubled over when retrieving the squid, managed to land a 16lb fish( some luck involved 😂) on a 2 foot rod . Laurier was great , good banter and knowledgeable. Recommend!
