    Dusk Bite was a Major Success

    Dusk Bite - Salmon (3hrs) on August 1, 2026 • 8 adults

    We were a crew of 8 with limited experience fishing in the ocean and booked the dusk bite. Could not recommend this trip enough we had a complete blast. Cam was amazing and perfect for our group. He was funny, respectful, and very very knowledgable. Our crew caught 5 good sized Chinook Salmon, 4 keeper sized Crabs, and even saw a Humpback Whale. Everyone in the group caught a fish. This was so special and we will be booking again in the future. Thanks again to Cam for the amazing experience!

    Full Day Trip – Multi Species on September 2, 2026 • 8 adults • 5 children

    Our family had the best day on our charter. All 8 of us caught multiple fish of many different species, and Captain Andrew helped instill what we believe will be a life long love of fishing in our kiddos, along with a deep respect for wildlife and the ocean. So much fun jigging and trolling, we will definitely be back for more fishing 🎣!!!

    Beyond outstanding!

    Full Day Trip – Multi Species on August 20, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children

    Captain Andrew was beyond amazing. He taught us a lot and we caught so many fish- well more than we ever expected (24 in total over 8 hours). We were 4 adults and 3 kids- lots of room for us all. We just had the best time and can not recommend Andrew enough. We promise you will not be disappointed!!

    Just a big thanks to Andrew at King Tide for showing these rookies what to do. We had a blast. Caught some fish and it was pretty much action packed for three hours.. I reccomend Andrew at King Tide to anyone wanting to get out and fish these waters. We’ll be back for sure!

    Great half day on the water with Captain Andrew

    Half Day Trip - Salmon (AM) on July 8, 2026 • 5 adults

    Excellent skipper and guide. Knowledgeable, skilful and attentive to our group. Landed multiple coho and several good size chinook. Nothing we could keep unfortunately but the fishing was really steady.

    Professional and responsive

    Full Day Trip – Multi Species on May 24, 2026 • 7 adults

    Our family of 7 adults booked this charter as part of my husband’s 50th birthday celebration, and it gave us a day we will always remember, with it being our first time fishing on the coast. We had a great time on the water with Captain Steven, caught a few beautiful salmon, including two keepers, numerous rockfish, and one crab, and really appreciated the effort that went into helping us make the day special. The boat was very comfortable and spacious for our group. We all got to reel something in! Like any fishing trip, not everything went perfectly but Andrew was professional and receptive when we shared feedback afterward. He acknowledged our concerns and genuinely wanted to make things right. Overall, we’re grateful for the experience, the memories, and the care shown during and after the trip. We would recommend this charter .

    April fishing trip

    Half Day PM Halibut & Crab (custom trip) on April 24, 2026 • 5 adults

    Had an amazing day out on the water with Captain Andrew! Super knowledgeable, friendly, and knows exactly where to find the fish. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. The 28 ft Northwest was very comfortable for our group of 6. Highly recommend booking with him if you’re looking for a fishing trip in Sooke.

    Big Hali for Big Fish Chuck! We spent the afternoon yesterday with our guest celebrating his birthday fishing for halibut. Well the tide finally switched and we got big hits on both our front lines within a minute or two from each other. They didnt stick until commiting to the salmon head, fresh octopus (recently caught) and herring platter we had on our back line another minute after rhe first two. Well this fish peeled a 100ft of line before giving our guest a chance to play it perfectly to the boat..which he did. Well done sir. Porpoises were putting on a show for us all day while we were on anchor comjng within 20 ft of the boat chansing bait on the surface. We cant say enough about our local fall/winter fishing here in Sooke. Send us a trip inquiry if you have any questions or want some help planning were happy to help. Dont miss out on this productive winter halibut fishing opportunity. Bring the crew and lets get on em. See you on the water. King Tide Crew

    Halibut
    Insane Halibut Action! We had a crazy halibut bite on an afternoon this week! After landing our first Halibut still in the net our second rod got hammered and was peeling line. Guests were able to get the second fish to the boat both a perfect 107cm and 104cm. Just as we were getting ready to head back and pull our anchor...a MEGA fish hammered our whole yellow tail and burned under the boat tangling around our chum back and breaking another line clean off. This fish got us into our backing before coming back to the boat for a leader release. The Halibut was close to 100lbs...a serious unit. Guests enjoyed an incredible sunset on the run back. HOG-tober at its finest!
