If you plan on fishing in Tofino, look no further than Tonquin Fishing Charters.

Fishing around here will often see you targeting Halibut, Chinook Salmon, Lingcod, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Albacore Tuna, Rockfish, and more if conditions are right. On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using heavy tackle.

Capt. John believes in teaching kids to fish while they're young, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

You'll be dropping lines from a 25' Pursuit sportfishing vessel that holds up to 5 passengers. It comes with downriggers, all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with lures.

You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. 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.

Don't leave home without sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Amazing Day on the Water!
Half Day Trip on July 29, 20252 adults3 children

Had a wonderful experience on the waters of Tofino, BC! Pablo was a wonderful captain and guide - super friendly, insightful and wonderful with the kids! We had a 6 hour trip and caught 6 species - chinook, coho, halibut, ling cod, multiple rockfish, and even had a shark on the line at one point! Definitely recommend for an awesome adventure!
