We dropped a couple crab traps, then spent most of the day jigging for halibut and finished off the day trolling for salmon. We caught two monster halibut, and even though it was a bit early in the season we landed a good size salmon too. Wayne was a great captain, obviously very experienced and knowledgeable and answered all of our many questions. An all around chill dude 🤙 We had a blast. I cannot recommend Full Melt Charters enough. The only downside was now my girlfriend keeps asking why we don’t have a boat. Lol thanks a lot Wayne we’ll see you next time!

While we fish at home often we were looking to fish for halibut for the first time. From the first booking and communication right to the end of the trip we had no issues and felt very prepared. We et at the Crab Shack and met captain Wayne and Chris. We were heading out with Chris who prepared us, got a feel for our comfort level and answered all of our questions as we traveled out for the day. We started off hitting Dogfish (which was still a bit fun) and quickly got to Sable-fish, Cod and then the mighty Halibut. We had so much fun and enjoyed the day so much. We can’t wait to go again. Thank you Wayne and Chris for a GREAT experience!

From start to finish, our trip with Captain Wayne at Full Melt Charters was excellent. He knew exactly how to get us on fish, and it wasn’t long before we were hooked up and hauling in salmon. His knowledge of the water, tides, and gear gave us confidence and made the day both productive and fun.

The boat was well set up, clean, and clearly designed for serious fishing. We appreciated the extra touches—help with technique, stories from the water, and a relaxed atmosphere that made us feel at home right away.

Christi and I had a fantastic time. We caught beautiful fish, enjoyed stunning views, and came away with memories that will last. If you’re looking for a charter in Sooke that delivers both results and a great experience, I highly recommend Full Melt Charters.

We would book again without hesitation.

Captain Wayne was fantastic!! He was communicative beforehand, punctual, and very knowledgeable! He really worked hard, monitoring the lines & making sure there wasn’t any seaweed or shakers occupying the hooks. We had a LOT of action. We hooked Chinook, Coho & pink salmon.  We got our max catch for Chinook, a lot of pinks too. There were a lot of fish released . . . We took the sunset charter. The weather was gross, so we didn’t catch the sunset, but we caught lots of fish, and had a great time!!
We HIGHLY recommend Full Melt!!
Thank you for the exceptional experience Captain Wayne!!

We had such a great time on our fishing trip!!! Captain Chris was a great gide and very knowledgeable, we learned a lot from him.  We landed 3 Different types of salmon. Coho,Chinook,Pink.  Captain Chris was very patient with us 4.  He did everything like bait the lines for the fishing poles and took the fish off the hook for us.  He showed is what fish we could keep and which to let go so we could keep within the Canadian 🇨🇦 rules for sustainability.  We would highly recommend chartering with Full Melt charters.  We will definitely be returning for another trip. Mahalo Full melt Charters   Captain Chris is a great guide!! Aloha From your Hawaiian Ohana Ken, Elizabeth, Hana & Diana
