Make sure you bring a cooler and Ice if you plan on keeping fish to cook during your stay or bring a way to store and transport it til you get back to your lodging. It is chilly on the water so bring more layers than you are expecting to need. Rain gear would also be a great idea to have on hand if necessary.

Take the newly paved road through Port Alberni - not the logging road! The Hacas hotel in Bamfield was the bare minimum for a fishing trip (it was clean enough but DO NOT bring your wife to this hotel).

It gets busy there in the summer - book ahead if possible and find accommodation at the same time, places fill up fast. Catch My Drift charters helped with our booking and suggested places to stay, we'd recommend looking into their charters for sure.

Bring rain gear and waterproof attire and layer up with warm clothing. June can be cold and rainy. Also I would avoid going on a long weekend. There were many boats on the water so it would be a better experience with less boat traffic for sure.

Not a lot of fishing boats out, so hardly any competition. We were able to catch our limit for the day. I am sure if we stayed out longer we could have got Halibut as well, since the other boat did in the same area.

Opt for a seasoned local guide like Captain Scott in Ucluelet who knows the area well. His expertise can make a significant difference, ensuring you have a successful and enjoyable first fishing trip. Ucluelet’s weather can be unpredictable. Dressing in layers ensures you stay comfortable throughout the day. Pack the essentials, be patient and enjoy the experience!

Jeff was an absolute treat! Hilarious guy, seasoned captain and great guide. We got into some great salmon and rockfish, felt extremely safe on the water, and really enjoyed our day out there. His boat is a bit older and takes a bit longer to get where you need to go but it was so comfy, and cozy with a full heated cabin and bathroom. And it’s huge so plenty of room to sit outside, fight fish and felt very safe in the water. We will be back Jeff! Thanks again

Awesome! Best fishing experience ever. We highly recommend James at Maximum Coastal Adventures as he is a true professional guide and knows the waters and where to fish. This was quite evident with us catching our Chinook quota in the first hour. He then took us us to reefs and areas where we where we were able to catch a good size Ling COD, 6 Black Rock fish and the trifecta, a good size Halibut. Thank you James for a wonderful day of fishing.
