We met our captain, Barry at 7:15am. He was courteous, friendly and extremely helpful all day long. Barry was very focussed on our comfort and on doing his best to see ensure that we caught fish. Since the season was "on" for Ling Cod, that was our focus and we caught our limit at a very comfortable pace which included a double ( my wife and I pulled in fish at the same time). Captain Barry made a stop at the scenic village of Bamfield to satisfy our interest and we were thankful for his flexibility to do that - its an unusual little spot with a nifty boardwalk running the length of the island town and the stop offered a nice break in the day. During our return trip we caught prawns and crab for good measure. That evening we feasted on cod, crab and prawns with preparation tips from Barry. A great ending to a rewarding day. Thanks to Barry.
Thanks Brad for the kind review! Was great meeting you both and thank you for a great day as well. you forgot about all the dolpins :-)
We had a great time fishing for sockeye salmon with Barry. He was knowledgeable, friendly and good with our 12 year old son. Would definitely recommend his fishing charter!
