Start your trip off by setting up a Crab trap or a few Shrimp pots, then head off for some Salmon. Salmon don't wanna bite today? Let's go catch some Rockfish! Lingcod and Snapper are always tasty! Returning to the harbor we can pick up the Shrimp and/or Crab pots we dropped earlier in the day. The adventure is yours, let me be your guide!

Glassy Ocean, Great Fishing.
5/5
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!

Captain Brannen is very knowledgable, experienced and friendly. He was wonderful with our kids (4, 6 years old). He knows the best spots to have a succesful fishing trip. He is not only from Nanaimo, he know everything about the wildlife. My kids loved to catch all the crabs and learn about them, measuring them. Captain Brannen went above and beyond for us and we are definitely pick him when we’ll bisit next time. Thank you for the experience of a lifetime.

Fintastic Day!!
5/5
What a memorable day! Not only did we get to experience ocean fishing, we also got to experience seeing humpback whales, seals, sea lions, river otters, a box crab and hermit crab, spotted prawns, octopus, eagles and squat lobsters (somethings we have never seen before). Unbelievable experience with the best, Captain Joe and First Mate Aaron. Highly recommend spending the day with them, you won’t be disappointed.

Had an amazing day out fishing and crabbing with Chris! My daughter and I had such a great time. Great company and conversation, and Chris really went the extra mile to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and catching fish. Beautiful luxurious boat too, not your regular fishing boat Highly recommended

Captain Chris and Rising Tide was phenomenal. It was our first time salmon fishing and took the time to understand our concerns and what we were especially looking forward to. He was easy to talk to and get along with. We will definitely be returning to Rising Tide for more fun experiences. They have excellent equipment and a very comfortable vessel. We caught many fish and crab too! Chris took excellent care of us. Thanks again Chris!
