One of our top picks in Ucluelet. Hot Pursuit Charters operates out the prestigious fishing town of Ucluelet, BC, targeting Salmon and Halibut amid the stunning scenery of Vancouver Island. Spend the day fishing for these hard-fighting and delicious fish, and watch whales breach around you as you do so.
The boat you will be fishing aboard is a 30’ Proline, freshly-built in 2015 and powered forward by twin clean-burning 225 HP Evinrude engines to get you to the best fishing grounds at speed. The vessel features a full washroom, galley, bed, and plenty of deck space.
The boat comes equipped with the latest Lowrance electronics and navigational equipment to get you locked onto the best fishing spots, and high-quality Shimano rods with Okuma and Avet reels, specifically picked out to best target Halibut and Salmon.
The Hot Pursuit guides Chris and Shawn have over 50 years of fishing experience between them, and have spent decades guiding these local waters. This comes into play on every trip, and you will see from the moment you step on board that you are dealing with some of the best in the business.

VERIFIED Went fishing on August 20, 2017
The guide (Chris), was personable, very knowledgable , efficient and very chill…
The boat was the right size to make the commute and conditions manageable (I got sick but it was just me, the boys were fine).
We really enjoyed ourselves.
We had plenty of opportunity to catch our limit and came away with lots of fish. Even the booking process and directions to the boat was easy.Fished August 2017

We actually spend two days with Chris . He was our guide as well as the captain of the boat. First I have to say about our captain ; he was one guy rarely talked to us . The first day we only stay at one spot and didn’t go anywhere else ; we got two salmons at the end of the day ; but I have to agree they were quite big ; 16 lbs n 12 lbs . The next day we spend 6 hours n got 6 rock fishes. It was not our worst fishing trip but surely not an excited one . One other thing I have to point out is that the twin outboard engines spilled out terrible gas that made all of us felt silck even long after we left the boat . What a terrible experience.

Hello Simon,
My name is Shawn Grant the owner of Hot Pursuit Charters. I am sorry to hear that you were not happy with your charter. I did have a couple comments about your review that I feel is only fair to mention. You did catch salmon on your trip and you lost more than a couple as well but unfortunately we cannot guarantee you will land all your fish once we get them on your line. If you check our listing on Fishing Booker you will see that the species we fish for are Salmon and Halibut, not Rock Cod. The water conditions did not permit us to take you safely out Halibut fishing but we did take you Rock Cod fishing. That was us trying to accommodate you and the 6 Rock Cod you did catch was a full limit for the day so we could not keep more than that. As for the gas spilling out I am not sure what you mean by that. We have new G2 Evinrudes on our boat because they are the cleanest burning outboards on the market and Evinrude has actually won awards because of it. Even with all that said Simon we value customer satisfaction and if you book with us again we will add in 4 hrs of Rock Cod fishing no charge.Shawn Grant
