    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 🎣!!!

    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.

    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 .

Great fishing and great captain!
Dusk Bite - Salmon (3hrs) on August 16, 2026 • 7 adults

Hosted a bachelor party fishing trip and Andrew absolutely nailed it. Andrew is very experienced and professional, but also lots of fun and we all had a great time. Water was very choppy but he navigated it with ease, and we had a ton of action the whole time. Lots of bites and caught a bunch of salmon including a few nice keepers. Highly recommended! We’ll be back for halibut next year and he’ll definitely be top of our list for next trip out with the boys. Thank you for a great evening on the water!

Andrew Black
Response from Captain

Thanks so much, Joshua! Your group brought great energy, and it was a blast hosting the bachelor party aboard the Northwest. The water kept things interesting, but the salmon action and sunset made for an epic evening. We’ll be ready to chase halibut with the boys next year and looking forward to ti! — Captain Andrew

Thank you so much for the incredible review, Richelle! It sounds like an unforgettable dusk bite—five Chinook, four keeper Dungeness crabs, a humpback whale sighting, and a fish for everyone onboard! Captain Cam had a blast with your crew and will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We’re so glad he made everyone feel comfortable while keeping the trip fun and memorable. Thank you for choosing King Tide Fishing Charters—we would love to welcome the whole crew back for another adventure!
