GA WestCoast Charters – Bamfield
If you’re ready to have fun fishing in Bamfield, we’ve got you covered with GA WestCoast Charters. Your guide for the day is Captain Gerald, giving you access to years of local experience.
Halibut, Chinook Salmon, and more could be biting if conditions are right. For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish.
Your day begins aboard a 21’ Bayliner walkaround with capacity for 3 passengers. It comes with downriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures.
Before coming aboard, you’ll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. 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.
You can’t go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with GA WestCoast Charters!

8 hrFull Day Trip. Salmon, halibut
A pleasant hard working generator
Gerald was awesome. He worked very hard to keep the lines on bottom and used the right equipment to get the job done. He knew exactly where to fish and we were catching fish when literally no one else was!! We even brought in a 60 pound halibut. I would recommend him as a great guy and an excellent guide and captain. My son and i made some fantastic lifetime memories. We will go again as soon as we can.

Tubbed out in a few hours!
We booked a trip on short notice. The forecast didn't look ideal, and other guides were staying onshore but our skipper had confidence in some nearby spots and was willing to try his best. We got our limit of halibut in a few hours and called it a day.
