Half Day Trip (AM) on June 9, 20262 adults

My wife and I had a great trip with Un-Reel Charters. Captain Alonso was waiting at the dock for us and in no time at all we were fishing. The captain was knowledgeable and efficient, kept the boat spotless, and was a pleasure to spend time with over the four hour trip. We saw orcas and bald eagles and did we catch fish! My first time salmon fishing created memories I will cherish.

Glassy Ocean, Great Fishing.
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 17, 20252 adults

Our experience on the ocean was fantastic. Had lots of different fish on the lines! Our Captain, Lonni knew how to navigate everything to make the most of it, he had a great personality and knew his stuff. The boat was in great shape and very clean. We put a crab basket out early in the trip and when we came back there was tons of legal crabs in it. We got really lucky with wind conditions. Went home with something to eat and it was delicious!

Reported catch:
Coho Salmon

We are repeat customers having had such a great experience last year with Captain Blake. Well , it was the same story as last year. I’m not much of an angler so Captain Blake really took charge with the grandkids. They had such a great time. Thank you Captain Blake for such a memorable experience 🙂. We will see you next year

Great Family Trip
Evening Night Bite on July 4, 20254 adults

Our family went on our first-ever fishing trip together, and it was an amazing experience. Lonni was a fantastic guide — not only did he teach us the fishing techniques, but he also shared lots of interesting stories about Vancouver Island. Thanks to his help, my brother, sister, and I all caught fish! It was a day we won’t forget.

Reported catch:
Coho Salmon
Chinook Salmon

Thanks so much for the review Yannik! I'm glad your family enjoyed your trip with us and guide Lonni.
