Emerald Sea Adventures
Just had a cancellation calendar is open 1st to 4th July. The weather is good. The fish are biting.
There's a fish with your name on it in Coal Harbour or on the Port Hardy side and Emerald Sea Adventures will help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Scott, offering years of professional experience.
Halibut, Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Rockfish, and more inhabit these waters if you come at the right time of year. You can expect to do some fishing with heavy tackle, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
You'll be casting lines from a 22' KingFisher sportfishing vessel with space for 3 passengers. It has downriggers, all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures and bait.
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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
Some essentials to bring are sunblock (non-spray), a hat and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. New for the 2026 season, we going to have to start charging a fuel surcharge of $100.00 on a full day charter and $50.00 for a half day charter if fuel goes over $2.00 a litre.

We just wrapped up an incredible 3-day fishing charter out of Port Hardy with Scott from Emerald Sea Adventures, and I can't recommend him enough. His boat and fishing equipment are top-tier, and his knowledge of the local waters is second to none. We completely slaughtered the bottom fish (especially the lingcod) and pulled in some fantastic salmon and halibut! To top it all off, Scott spotted whales and dolphins for us along the way. He’s super easygoing, warm, and great company on the water. Thank you for an unforgettable trip, Scott!
My husband and I recently spent 2 days fishing aboard Rum's Hot with Captain Scott of Emerald Sea Adventures. It was definitely an adventure!! Scott managed our expectations right away when he let us know that we were going out at the end of the season so he wasn't too sure what we would catch but WOW were we impressed with the amount and quality of fish we caught! There was everything - Coho & Spring Salmon, Halibut, Ling Cod, Rockfish…. He knew EXACTLY where to go to get what we wanted. We also saw TONS of wildlife out on the waters - Orcas, Porpoises, Minc & Humpback Whales, Sea Otters & Sea Lions…. That alone was an exceptional experience. Scott was a very safe and knowledgeable charter guide. We knew we were in good hands! The snacks and drinks were appreciated. And for all of the female anglers out there - the onboard toilet was a real blessing!! We left with a massive cooler chock full of enough fish to last us a very long time - but hopefully not too long because we really look forward to another trip us Island to head out onto the waters with Scott again.
Thank you, was a pleasure fishing with both of you. Mother Nature was definitely on your side both days. The water conditions were the best it have had all season for that area. The morning fog was a bit of a nuisance but still workable. Stay safe and tight lines in the future.
We went out with captain Scott and he did not disappoint. Awesome trip both times. We caught 95 lbs of salmon, lingcod, Halibut and rockfish on the first day. Second day we out and put another 62 lbs in the boat. Didn't have to clean fish as Scott hooked us up with a fish packaging house in town. Only negative is we caught so much fish is that I had to buy a portable freezer to bring the fish home. If you are fishing Vancouver island, don't waste your time with the limited fishing limits and restrictions on the inside pass. Call Scott at Port Hardy and get out to area 111 and catch big fish. Highly recommended from a lifetime fisherman who catches big fish. We are going back 6 weeks early in 2026 and will fish with Scott 3 times. Might have to get a bigger freezer. Scott is the best guide that I have been out with on Vancouver island
It was a pleasure meeting and fishing with You and Karen. looking forward to our next adventure. Until then keep you tip up and tight lines.
My friend William and I had great day with Scott, catching fish, watching whales and sea otters. I would recommend Scott and Emerald Sea Adventures to anyone visiting Port Hardy or Coal Harbour. We caught silver salmon, halibut, lingcod, and rockfish! I really appreciated that after catching two wild silvers in 5 minutes, Scott suggested we celebrate with a nice cup of coffee. My friend William from Belgium had never fished and he caught several fish and got to see whales!
My wife and I, both first timers to salmon and ling cod fishing, had an amazing time with Captain Scott. He was patient, knowledgeable, friendly and treated us very well. We really appreciated that he designed the excursion around what we wanted and our experience. We learnt a ton! The fishing was as advertised.
I really enjoyed our time on the water, it makes for a great day when all the elements cooperate. Fishing with those who enjoy what the ocean has to offer is one of the reason I do this. Fish in the boat is the reward. Thank you for your review, Hope we are able to do this again until then wishing you tight lines in your  future endeavours.
