    Awesome full day!

    Full day on August 25, 2026 • 3 adults

    Awesome full day on the water, with family! Captain Ronald dug in and worked hard to ensure we got on our Halibut limits, nice Ling Cod, and a big Chinook, to go with some fun heavy hitting Cohos.

Capt. Ronald runs trips out of Port Alberni aboard 30' Scout. Keep your eyes peeled for Red Snapper,Lingcod and Sockeye Salmon as you try your hand at bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, and more. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
