If you're ready to discover fishing in Port Hardy, book a trip with Skookum Fishing Charters. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Albert can tell you all about the local fishery.
Around here the fishing is popular for Salmon, Halibut, Rockfish, Crab, Shrimp, and more with any luck. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks for a boost of energy when needed!
You'll be fishing aboard a 26' KingFisher sportfishing boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Albert will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures.
You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. 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 sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. So make it happen, with Skookum Fishing Charters!
