    We were very happy with the trip! Will is very knowledgeable and truly enjoys what he's doing. He's also great with kids! Our 13 year old son loved it. We caught lots of fish, almost our limits, and would definitely come back to go fishing with him again!

    My brother was visiting the island and we had to cancel our annual trip to Bamfield due to a wildfire, so we booked 2 half-days with Captain Will in Nanaimo. He immediately put us on the fish each morning, we caught our limits in Chinook each day with plenty of keeper Coho and even a couple Pinks! Will was very knowledgeable, friendly and keen to make sure we had success, he was not afraid to pivot strategies or locations if we hit a lull in the action. I can’t recommend his services enough if you are in need of a charter in Nanaimo or Port Alberni!

    Chinook Salmon
    We folks the big fish have arrived, right in time for the opener this week! Nanaimo chinnook fishery has really made a comeback in last few year, it is quickly becoming one of the best fisheries on the island in terms of numbers. Most of the fish I’ve been catching will fit perfectly into slot limit! Nanaimo is a deep water fishery, I catch most of my fish below 200ft. These fish are aggressive and will bite most lures you put down, I personally recommend herring aid skinnyG’s or green or white hoochies, I tend to run longer leaders on my hoochies when fishing this deep, 48-54” behind purple or green flashers Best of luck everyone, God bless and tight lines!
  • Two anglers actively reeling in a fish while fishing on a boat in open water, showcasing the excitement of the catch.

    I booked this trip on behalf of my dad who is an experienced angler. During the trip, captain William was friendly and professional, giving expert advice on various methods from jigging to trolling. We caught 30+ fosh ranging from chinook salmon to coho and even lingcod. My dad had a memorable and wonderful experience which he thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for making this an amazing experience!!

    Coho Salmon
    Well folks the coho have officially arrived in numbers! With coho set to open on june first, they showed up at the perfect time to start filling your freezer. I’m seeing more hatchery fish this year than previous years which is super exciting to see, and most fish we get to the boat are between 3-6lbs. They seem to be everywhere in the water column and biting anything you put in front of them. I personally recommend anything green or blue and set your gear between 80-150ft and enjoy the show. God Bless, and happy fishing!
