Hoping to go fishing in Sooke? That's what Sooke Saltwater Fishing is here for! Our experienced and local expert guides allow you the benefit to years of professional experience.

You're likely to fish for Halibut, Chinook, Coho, and Pink Salmon, Black Rockfish, Rockfish, Lingcod, and more. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Our fun and accommodating captains welcome children aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, inquire with us and we will get you fitted with the appropriate sized one. Also remember to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

You'll be fishing from our brand new 24' Raider aluminum sportfishing west coast-designed vessel, comfortably seating 6 passengers. It has downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for privacy and comfort. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, along with all of your fishing necessities.

Before coming aboard, get your local fishing license for everyone in your group so we can be sure we are following regulations and logging your catch. Buy your license online and print your license before your trip. You can ask the captain at any time if you have any questions before your trip. The fishing is absolutely amazing and some of the best in the world here in Sooke BC.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Sooke Saltwater Fishing!

3 Hour Trip – Night Bite on July 28, 2025

My grandson and I had an exceptional fishing experience with Captain Clive. Not only did we continue to catch a great number of fish (Clive’s fishing knowledge was fantastic) but the fun atmosphere with Clive made the trip even more enjoyable. Definitely would recommend this company and Captain.

Crab harvest (mid) on June 27, 2025

Honest one of the best days of fishing in my life. It was short and sweet, but Tristan did nothing but deliver!! Crab traps were full, easily catching the limit and had time for salmon to give a seafood BBQ feast. Really can't say enough about the boat and it's Caption, Sooke and the fishing. Highly recommend. Already booking my next trip!!

Captain Clive Halibut Day!

8 Hour Trip – Halibut on May 27, 2025

Captain Clive did an excellent job sharing his wisdom and fun story’s throughout the day, teaching us a lot about the fishery, and the town of Sooke. His experience piloting vessels as well as catching fish was evident from the moment we stepped aboard, Halibut for dinner tonight! Thanks Clive, see you next time!
