Make the most of your time in Vancouver and go fishing with Catch My Drift.

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.

Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Chum Salmon, and more inhabit these waters if conditions are right.

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 6 passengers. 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!

Amazing Salmon Trip
5 Hour Trip – Vancouver on September 20, 20256 adults

Josh was an amazing captain- skilled knowledgeable, helpful, and very helpful. We had a mix of experiences from very experienced to beginner and he dealt great with everyone. Stayed out extra time to help us get fish. The boat was great. Equipment excellent. We got 7 giants in the boat on a half day with 4 keepers. Amazing time. Wouldn't chance a thing. Thanks Josh!
