Catch My Drift invites you to experience the stunning waters of Ucluelet.

With over 20 years experience on the water, Captain Josh is able to provide knowledge few have on how to target and catch many types of fish, and what type of gear is best to use.  You'll target your catch by trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Catch My Drift welcomes kids aboard, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board.

You'll be dropping lines from a 30' Aluminum Offshore XL that can carry up to 7 passengers (6 guests + Captain). We have an enclosed cabin with charge seating, charge ports for your devices, a private bathroom and ample deck space to enjoy the views.

Rods, reels, downriggers and tackle are included, along with lures. We use some of the best in the industry thanks to our branded partnerships with some amazing companies.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, we can provide links to the proper license and where to buy.  Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water. Don't forget to bring snacks to keep up those energy levels!

Bring your own beers to enjoy while we're anchored. Please avoid use of glass bottles.

The click of a button is the only thing keeping you from a great day on the water with Catch My Drift!

Awesome day of fishing.
5 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on July 16, 20262 adults

Can't say enough about Captain Josh and the Catch My Drift. Boat was clean and had everything we needed. Cap. Josh had us out on the fish super quick and before we knew it fish were filling the boat. We limited out on Halibut and Springs before heading in and left with bags full of beautiful filets. If you are looking for an awesome day on the water you can't go wrong booking with Catch My Drift!!

Josh was awesome. Very experienced and personable. Great boat and gear. Was a cold and windy morning, and his enclosed cabin was nice and warm. We land lots of chinook, coho and some super tasty rockfish. Would 100% recommend Josh to anyone.

We had an absolutely amazing day out on the water with Catch My Drift! Our guide, Josh, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. He knew exactly where to take us for the best chances, and it paid off—we caught plenty of fish and had a blast doing it. Josh made the whole experience easy and enjoyable from start to finish. Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-timer, he's got the patience and skill to make your trip unforgettable. The boat was clean and comfortable, and everything we needed was provided. If you're looking for a fun, productive day of fishing with a top-notch guide, we highly recommend Catch My Drift. Huge thanks to Josh for making it a trip to remember—we'll definitely be back!

Unforgettable Day with Catch My Drift
10 Hour Trip – Salmon on June 25, 2025

If you're looking for a killer fishing trip in Ucluelet, Catch My Drift is the way to go. Captain Josh is a pro – super knowledgeable, passionate about fishing, and makes the whole experience a blast. He knows these waters inside and out, and you can tell he loves what he does. Josh made sure we were all set on the safety side of things, but once that was covered, it was all fun and fishing. The guy's got a great sense of humour, and we were laughing the entire day. Plus, the music was on point – Josh played great tunes and even let us throw on our own playlists. The fishing was awesome. Josh helped us out when we were struggling with the bigger fish and made sure we were doing everything right to land them. The day flew by, and we didn't want it to end. If you're in Ucluelet, don't miss out on Catch My Drift. Josh is the man, and I'll definitely be back for round two.
