Book your next trip with Chase Fishing Charters and find out what the fishing in Victoria is all about. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Chris is prepared to put you on fish.

These waters are home to Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, and more with any luck. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. You're welcome to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

You'll be casting lines from a 27 NORTH RIVER sportfishing vessel with space for 6. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Chris will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures.

Before coming aboard, it will be required 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.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Victoria for yourself, with Chase Fishing Charters!
There is also a very good chance of seeing whales during the summer.  Instead of chasing them down in a whale watching boat.  They usually come to us as we are fishing!!  Up close and personal.

Amazing Fishing Adventure
Full Day Trip on May 31, 20265 adults1 child

Chris and his son are true professionals who really know what they're doing. They are also very friendly and patient. Even if you're a complete beginner, they take the time to explain everything and help you learn how to fish. During our trip, they showed us how to catch Chinook salmon, sablefish, halibut, lingcod, and crabs in different locations using various rods, techniques, and equipment. They also took the time to teach my daughter how to drive the boat. It absolutely made her day — she was so excited and felt like the happiest person in the world. The experience was both fun and educational, and we learned a lot throughout the day. Highly recommended! It was absolutely worth every dollar we paid, and we would definitely book with them again.

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 3, 20264 adults

Three of us booked a half day with Chase june 3. Chris the capt advised us to fish from pedder bay instead of the Victoria harbour due to expected high winds . chris has the the awareness of the client's comforts to ensure a good experience even out at pedder bay the winds were strong. We werewhile amazed at how skillful chris could manage the boat in the wind andwhile drift jigging pulling up rock cod. We brought three smaller springs into the boat but a big one that got away from me the three of us had a good experience and have booked again july12 for a half day. we're nowRepeat guests

when we moved to the island. I was hooked on salt water fishing. when I learnt how to fish here I spent countless hrs learning how to catch and where to fish. After 25 years of fishing our local waters ,I have figured them out. I usually have my son on as a deckhand ,who helps out when younger kids come aboard.
