Captain Barry Raynes is the man behind this charter. He's been fishing for over 25 years and running charters out of from Port Alberni for over 10 years. He's a native of Vancouver and is very knowledgeable when it comes to the fish species and wildlife that inhabit this area. He can't wait to show you the wonders of these Canadian waterways.
Port Alberni is surrounded by breathtaking views of mountains and exquisite wildlife, including bears, eagles, orcas, and dolphins. It isn't named the 'Salmon Capital of the World' for no reason, either – Capt. Barry will have you targeting several species of Salmon, such as huge Chinook and Coho, which show up at the end of August through September. There's also the chance of hooking Halibut and Lingcod.
Captain Barry will take you out on his 25' Grady White saltwater fishing boat, capable of accommodating up to 4 guests. She's powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine, meaning you'll be treated to a speedy journey along the beautiful waters of Vancouver Island. On board, you'll find life jackets for safety, a GPS and fishfinder, and a toilet, which is a huge plus for families with little ones.
Capt. Barry will make sure you're provided with all the fishing gear necessary to hook the Salmon of your dreams, including rods, reels, tackle, downriggers, lures, and frozen bait in the form of herring and anchovies. He'll also clean and fillet your catch for you, so you can cook it and enjoy the results of your hard work as soon as you get back home.
All you need to do is grab a valid fishing license, and make your way to this tranquil corner of paradise. Get your fish on with Fish On Charters!

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 met Barry and he immediately informed us of poor Sockeye conditions where we had booked and suggested an alternative. We accepted and went out and caught some excellent Chinook. Barry was an exceptional guide, very knowledgeable, great rapport! We had a wonderful time and will absolutely book again!
This was an absolutely awesome time! Barry is a great and hilarious guide. Works incredibly hard to get you on the fish and is very knowledgeable on how to fish, the locations and his ability to know when to change things up for the betterment of everyone!
Captain Barry is very engaging and very good at making the day incredible from start to finish. We had an absolutely fantastic day and caught some great fish. Thanks Captain Barry for a great fishing trip 👍😀
Very knowledgeable, pleasant, high spirited guide who exceeded our expectations. He made sure we limited out. All around fantastic experience for me and my son. Would recommend 100%!
