Salty Doug's Fishing Charter
The Victoria, Metchosin, and Sooke areas have some of the best fishing in the world, so let Salty Doug's Fishing Charter help you catch some beauties.
Familes wanting to take the kids out for a day of fun, will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so let the Captain know the sizes of the kiddies so he can have the PFDs onboard for them.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, Rockfish, Crab, and plenty more. You'll target your catch by trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
You'll be casting lines from a 22' Ocean Pro Aluminum (Transport Canada Small Vessel Compliance Certified) with space for 6 passengers. It has downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a small toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.
You need to buy a Canadian tidal fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Salmon fishing requires a stamp on your Tidal licence.
Don't leave home without sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Dress for the weather and bring a rain jacket. Bring drinks and food as there is no services on board. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
And that's it! Your fishing trip with Salty Doug's Fishing Charter is just a click away.

Perfect day on the water!
Captain Doug was wonderful for our party of grandparents, children, and grandchildren. Everyone was able to catch and reel in a fish and we went home with a nice haul. Doug even went the extra mile to set out crab traps for us the night before to increase our chances of getting enough crabs to keep. I have gone on multiple fishing charters in the area and Salty Doug was THE BEST.

Great fun for the whole family
Doug was fantastic, he put us on the fish, he had good conversation, and was great with the kids. The boat is well equipped, and he is very knowledgeable. We would definitely return. Not only did we catch a bunch of salmon, we also saw orcas, sea lions, and porpoises. Overall a wonderful afternoon.

With over thirty years of salt water fishing experience, Doug is an excellent guide to put you on the Salmon and Halibut. His boat is capable of allowing you to fish in not so nice weather but hope your day is as nice as mine was.
