Had a great trip with captain Speed. Beautiful scenery the entire time. Snow capped mountains, great seas, good company, and some good fishing. Pricing was considerably less than Vancouver city pricing verus guides around Granville Island, but a short 15 or so minute drive north. Captain Speed knew the area, put us on the fish, views of the area were beyond beautiful, worked hard the entire time, and was good company. But most importantly, he was an honest business owner and fisherman. I had over booked our trip last minute and he was quick to point out it might not be what I expected, and talked himself out of a few hours of fishing. His honesty alone made us stay the whole day. If you are looking for a great fishing experience, magnificent views, and an honest captain to steer you right on a Vancouver area fisging trip, call Captain Speed.
Colin this was a great day thank you. Next time up from Kansas please call & we will fish again. Thankyou Captain Chris Speed.
Simple as that. Chris is a flawless technician of the art. it is obvious that his skills and instincts are ingrained after so many years on the water, but he still displays raw excitment on the hook-up. An unbeatable combo. We were able to fish within ten minutes of the marina, followed the bait and had at least ten solid strikes. Landed a 15 pound winter Chinook, a 7 pound wild coho and several smaller chinooks. Lost another real nice Chinook right at the boat. Between hits, Chris shared his extensive knowledge and passion of the sport. During a short lull in the action, Chris sensed a change of presentation was required. We couldn't get the second rod set up before we had a fish on the first! Ad an experienced and travelled angler, I say again, Just Book It!
John a plessure meeting & fishing with you. See you next time in. Thank you Captain Chris Speed.
I booked a day of salmon fishing with Captain Chris for my husband and two sons as a surprise birthday present. They had an amazing day and it exceeded their expectations. Horseshoe Bay is a great starting point since it takes only minutes to reach a good fishing area. My son caught his first salmon within minutes of putting his line in the water. Chris was very knowledgeable, very well equipped with all the necessary fishing tackle, and gutted and cleaned all the fish they caught. My boys are already planning on going again next year and I suspect this will become an annual boys trip. Many thanks to Chris for a great day!
Thank you & a great day for all of us Captain Chris Speed
