Chris Vozniak5.0VerifiedOne for the scrapbook
8 Hour Trip- (7 guests max)S on August 18, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Josh delivered. My 3 sons and I asked for: 1 -the eldest's first salmon in the boat: accomplshed in the first 10 minutes 2 -a healthy catch: 12 fish landed, several released, and some good lessons learned/misses 3 -a variety of species: Chinook, Coho (none hatchery unfortunately), Ling cod, Sole, Halibut, and some other bycatch (also released) all made it to the boat. As for enjoyable, my eldest says it was the highlight activity of our trip despite pretty severe motion sickness setting in within the first hour. The youngest boy (13) landing a just legal (110cm) Halibut as we were pulling in the gear to head back was the icing on the cake. Thanks Captain Josh!
Vic KaidatzisRepeat angler5.0VerifiedPhenomenal trip
4 Hour trip-(3 guests max) on July 28, 2026 • 7 adultsWhat an absolutely phenomenal fishing trip in Ucluelet! We landed 7 huge salmon and couldn't have asked for a better day on the water. Josh was incredibly knowledgeable, knew exactly where to find the fish, and shared so much insight throughout the trip. His experience and professionalism made the entire adventure both exciting and enjoyable. If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing charter, I can't recommend this trip highly enough. Whether you're an experienced angler or it's your first time out, you're in excellent hands. Highly, highly recommended!
John CerneRepeat angler5.0August fishing trip
8 Hour Trip- (7 guests max)S on August 5, 2026I’ve been fishing with Josh for 5 years now and couldn’t be happier. This captain puts us on the fish every year, and gets my freezer full. No matter what species your after captain Josh will get it done. Beginners to advanced he has made our journey great helping out. I would highly recommend him, if you’ve got the time to get out and fish

3 Hour Trip.(7 guests max) on July 12, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 childWe were rookies at fishing and newbies to ocean fishing, but Josh turned us into pros. He knew where to go and what to use. Jigging for squid to use as bait was a nice touch as it gave us early success and filled in the gaps while hunting the big fish. We nabbed a couple of large Chinook and a sweet rock fish in just a few hours. Awesome experience!!!!
Sherman Soo4.7VerifiedProductive Salmon Fishing Trip
8 Hour Trip- (7 guests max)S on June 30, 2026 • 2 adultsWeather was a bit rough so that's why the overall rating was put at 4 stars, and fishing was slow to start but Captain Josh came through and got us into salmon. 20 boats in our area but we out fished them all. Capt Josh explained his strategies and they worked like magic. Salmon caught got progressively bigger too! We will definitely book with him again on our next trip.
