Getter Done Charters Nanaimo winter season
Getter Done Charters LTD invites you to experience the stunning waters of Nanaimo and Ladysmith.
For our winter trips we launch from two different locations. One being Nanaimo 1890 Zorkin road. The other one being Ladysmith 837 Ludlow road. Make sure to discuss with the captain on what location they plan to leave from. Location will be dependent on the productivity of the waters in both location and what species you want to target. PRAWNING IS CLOSED IN NANAIMO AREA UNTIL APRIL 1ST 2025
The fish in these waters include Chinook Salmon, Crab, Shrimp, and more, depending on conditions. On these trips, it’s common to troll using light or heavy tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that’s dinner!
You'll be casting lines from a 22' Grady White offshore sport fishing that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has downriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures.
Before coming aboard, buying a local fishing license for everyone in your group may be necessary. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
Trips with Getter Done Charters are child-friendly, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. A few items to bring include snacks, drinks, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.
Your trip with Getter Done Charters LTD is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Half day trip out of Nanaimo AM
Getter Done Got er Done!
Awesome trip! Brannen went above and beyond to make a truly memorable trip. Down to earth yet professional at the same time. Our group ranged from 9-73 years old and everyone was comfortable and excited start to finish. Brannen shared his extensive knowledge and then tested the kids, pulling heads and tails from the bait bucket then encouraging them to identify as Koho or Chinook. We each got the experience we wanted, from sitting back and watching the Captain tirelessly work to getting hands on and helping set/retrieve traps and clean the catch. And of course cranking in those Chinook was a highlight! 100% recommended.

Full Day Trip – Ladysmith
Beautiful day fishing
My friends and I had a great time fishing, the weather was amazing, and the scenery was like out of a painting! The captain was fun and we all got along really well. He was very prepared and knowledgeable and taught us a lot about fishing and worked hard all day for us! As soon as he set the rod a fish was on! Lots of action but not many keepers unfortunately. But the one salmon we brought home was delicious! And that crabs were the best we’ve had. I’d recommend him for sure, and will book again in the summer when there’s more keepable salmon. Overall wonderful day!

Cool day and VERY cool experience!
After dropping crab and prawn traps Captain Brannon took us to a ridge offshore where it looked like small bait fish were congregating. He set up the first rod and literally within seconds we had our first Chinook salmon on the line! We then caught many more Chinook, Coho and a Rockfish (out of season so back he went), emptied our prawn traps and learned how to sex prawns since the females were returned to spawn. Brannon was informed and informative and we have just finished a dinner with fresh Chinook salmon and shrimp our daughter gently seared in fresh garlic butter! We'll be back!

Brannan is an outstanding charter captain and fishing guide
Went out with my brother-in-law on 11/25/24 for winter chinook fishing after we recovered from the Bomb Cyclone. It was a cold day but Brannan worked his magic to hook us into some large Chinook. For my brother-in-law, a 70 year old man from the California desert with no fishing experience, Brannan was an excellent teacher. While we didn't set traps for crab and shrimp (our choice), this is a fantastic option for those who want to have a large family cookout in warmer weather. We definitely recommend this charter any time of year.
