Spend the day with Oly's Hooked Up Salmon Charters and enjoy incredible sights while pursuing Salmon year round. All 5 species of Salmon migrate through local waters with Chinook salmon being available year round. Captain Oliver grew up fishing these waters and has guided locally and up and down the coast for the past 22 years.
Hooked Up is a 26-foot custom-built fully enclosed aluminum boat powered by a 300HP Yamaha outboard and a 25 HP trolling motor. Captain Oliver always uses the best equipment and technology aboard to ensure a safe and successful trip. Hooked up is strategically located to maximize fishing time.
At the end of your trip, your catch will be cleaned and bagged ready for transport. Please bring a cooler to keep fish fresh for the ride home.
Everyone will need to purchase a BC Tidal Water Fishing Licence with Salmon Stamp and have it printed off. This information is available online. Feel free to bring any refreshments and snacks with you. Remember to pack appropriate clothing, sunglasses, and suntan lotion.
Message Oliver through FishingBooker for current reports and in-season updates or any questions you might have.
