Exceptional fishing trip
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.

The Perfect Day of Fishing.
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!!
