Capt. Tim runs trips out of Port Hardy aboard a 30’ Grady-White walkaround. These waters are known for Salmon and Halibut and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With over 10 years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
