Come out for a few hours and experience what West Coast ocean fishing is all about—or spend a full day on the water and try to catch your limit. I'm happy to tailor each trip to your ideal adventure. I love being out here, and I'm excited to share my experience on the West Coast with you. I am new to running charters on this boat , but I have tons of fishing experience including guiding charters on other boats. I also have 15 years of commercial diving experience.

My 21' Wolfe Industries welded aluminum boat is set up for comfort and function, with warm, sheltered bench seating in the cabin and two rear-facing seats on deck so you can stay right in the action. Make yourself at home—bring drinks and snacks, store them in the cooler, warm up inside when needed, or stay outside and fish.

Families are always welcome. As a parent of two young kids, I work to create an environment where kids feel completely safe and confident out there!

The scenery out here is spectacular, the fishing is exciting, and every trip is a chance to create something memorable. Book your trip and come see it for yourself

    What a day out !

    Half day on June 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    Had an amazing day out with Jesse, he’s not only a great guy but also has great fishing knowledge. Caught plenty of Salmon including one huge specimen, also hooked up a huge 40 lb plus Halibut which we got to the side of the boat. Unfortunately we lost it as it was on light gear with only a small hook…….. maybe next time 😩. Highly recommend !

Ive lived full time in Ucluelet now for 10 years raising a family and working on the ocean. As a Dive Harvester , I spend most of my winter underwater searching for urchins and sea cucumbers. My experience hanging out on reefs 30 - 40 feet deep for most of the year is beneficial to my knowledge of fish habitat - a great asset for catching fish. I love fishing for a living and I hope my kids will be able to fish for their dinner too. Looking forward to some great times out there -Jesse
