Highroller Charters invites you on a fishing adventure of a lifetime with one of the best captains on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada. Captain Todd Jenkins has fished the waters of both East and West Coast of Vancouver Island for over 30 years.

Captain Todd spends the months of April and May in Nanaimo fishing for Chinook Salmon and the super tasty Dungeness Crab. Captain Todd will be happy to lower the Crab cage into the cold waters of Nanaimo so you can treat yourself to a delicious dinner.

Highroller Charters will take you out on a 27-foot Sea Ray cuddy cabin originally built in 1979. The boat is powered by a 300 HP 6.2 litre fuel injected Mercruiser inboard/outboard engine, with a maximum cruising speed of 25 knots. The vessel is fully equipped with all the necessary safety and electronic features such as life jackets, and a fishfinder.

If you are taking your family out on the water you will be happy to know there is a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll also find an icebox on board for the catch you intend to keep, as well as a set of downriggers that will help you maximize the catch.

Highroller Charters offers full day fishing trips in Nanaimo aboard a comfortable boat and with an experienced crew. If you are looking to spend a day on the productive waters fishing for world-class Salmon while also enjoying bonding with family and friends, then Highroller Charters is a great choice.

    What an amazing Trip

    3/4 Day Trip on May 8, 2017

    We have been out with Todd a few times now, and we are never disappointed! He has taken our junior hockey players out on two occasions and they were so happy with their experience and just enjoyed the whole day. They not only caught fish but were able to see the beautiful sights of our area. When my husband asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday, there was no question that I wanted to go fishing with Todd. We caught Salmon, crab and just thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience, so much so that we are going to book with him to fish the west coast of our island next month. You won't be disappointed if you book with him

    Full day trip with captain Todd

    Full Day Trip on April 30, 2017

    My three sons and I have been fishing with Todd in the spring out of Nanaimo for the past 4 years. Always a great time and he always finds the fish! He is very professional and always makes the trip fun. The bonus of getting crab at the end of the day is awesome as well. I would highly recommend high rollers to anyone.

    Full Day Trip on May 6, 2017

    We have chartered boats before with some not so friendly captains but Todd was a lot of fun to be around and fit into our conversations. We look forward to fishing with Todd in the future. The crab we collected was a big bonus

    Todd is a great guy who really knows the area. After living in Nanaimo for nearly two years, it was our first outing in our own backyard and we were not disappointed. Caught our limit in no time! Will definitely go out with Todd and Highroller again!

Captain Todd has been fishing the waters of both East and the West Coast of Vancouver Island for over 30 years. He says: 'My Dad was a commercial Salmon fisherman. I used to tag along at a very young age so fishing was in my blood early'. Captain Todd is an expert on targeting Salmon, Halibut, and Lingcod, and always throws in the crab cage so his guests can later enjoy the super delicious Dungeness Crab. It's all about going the extra mile and making every customer a returning friend for many years to come.

    Thank you to Grant McAuley and the rest of his crew for a fun day of Chinook Salmon fishing in Nanaimo this morning. Started off with a bang landing 5 prime chinooks including one caught by JIM that weighed in at 18 pounds! Caught 2 more keepers after that, our 8th fish was elusive so 1 short of our limit. All in all a great day! topped if with some Dungeness crabs
