Last Chance Fishing Adventures

Last Chance Fishing Adventures offers professionally guided trips in the Sooke area, BC. Captain Kelly has been mastering the local waters since he was a kid. He will put his knowledge to work for you and your party while targeting Pacific Salmon. At this time of year, we do not target halibut, lingcod, or bottom fish

Fish the productive waters out of Sooke and enjoy the rich oceans that teem with angling opportunities. Whether you want to test the waters or spend your whole day out, Captain Kelly will get you close to the fish.

Your trip will begin at Sooke Harbor, which is less than 15 minutes away from the fishing grounds. You will be focusing on Salmon fishing, going after various species depending on what’s around. Pink Salmon is great for introducing kids to fishing and trophy Chinook is the main target of those record-seeker anglers. And don’t forget about Coho Salmon, which can be found on the right currents and tides.

Last Chance Fishing Adventurers will take you out aboard a 26’ Hourston Glasscraft buddy cabin. This spacious boat comes powered by twin 140 HP Suzuki 4-stroke engines and can cruise at 30 knots. The vessel is fitted with Raymarine electronics, electric downriggers, and other professional accessories. Inside, there is a heated cabin and a stand-up head.

The vessel can comfortably take up to six passengers. However, it’s recommended to have four anglers aboard for the best experience. You will be provided with the latest in light tackle for the best results. When you return to shore, the catch will be cleaned for you. Don’t forget to purchase a valid fishing license prior to the trip. Anglers must bring a valid paper copy of their BC Tidal Waters fishing license, available online.

    Spend a fantastic 6 hours fishing for Salmon, bottomfish are not available. A full day gives us a chance at several tide changes, and a better opportunity to explore different fishing holes. Kelly knows the best places to try, and what techniques to use.
