These waters are known for Halibut, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Rockfish, Lingcod, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before "Fish on!"
During the trip you might be fishing with heavy tackle, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Our Captain's are happy to have kids aboard and we cater all groups and sizes. If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to inquire and we'll line you up with the right sized. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to keep 'em happy!
You'll be welcome aboard a 24' Sportfishing that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with all of your gear, tackle and bait.
Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is available online, or you can ask the captain when we connect you at time of booking.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Sooke Saltwater Fishing! Can't wait to get you out with us!

1/2 day Salmon (AM)
This was our first time on a charter fishing trip. 3 adults one in a wheelchair and a 8 year old. It was the best experience we had fishing, from where we met the captain to the boat to setting crab traps to fishing on the ocean which is totally different from lake fishing. When we were all done fishing, the next week we talked about doing this with extended family the next year. We all agreed that it was absolutely the best vacation someone can take. Thanks to our captain Regg. for a wonderful experience.

Full Day Trip (Halibut)
Had a great time with Captain Tristan! Caught lots of fish, although the dogfish could have buggered off lol. Great thing though, they had upgraded to electric reels so we didn’t have to manually reel in all those little buggers. Weather was great and ocean calm. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Definitely would like to go out with Sooke Saltwater Fishing again!

1/2 day Salmon (AM)
Had the prairie kids out on their first ever salmon fishing trip. Limited bar 1 on pinks, coho and legal chinook plus a few released, and a couple of crab too. The boat was just right for a party of 6, spacious and comfortable. The skipper Reg clearly knew his stuff and was just awesome with the kids. Definitely recommended.

Full Day Trip (Halibut)
We booked a halibut trip. Though we did not catch any halibut due to the off season, we caught 6 black cods. Captain Regg is a very approachable person. He is full of energy and had tried his best to give us a memorable trip. My group was particularly impressed by his fish cutting skills. He customized his cuts to our cooking needs and made life easy. He even went an extra mile to offer us a pack of his halibut inventory so that we could still get to taste what we missed. Will book him again in our next opportunity. Thank you Captain Regg.

1/2 day Salmon (AM)
Captain Tristan was great. Friendly, knowledgeable, well maintained boat and gear. 70th birthday present to myself, went with my daughters. All of us limited on Coho, and released about 30 wild Coho in addition to the hatchery fish we kept. Many double headers, lots of action. Highly recommend.
