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.

We couldnโt have gotten a more perfect day! Sun was shining, wasnโt too windy, fish were biting! We definitely over prepared but never know what to expect with being on the water

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.
Uclueletโs weather can be unpredictable. Dressing in layers ensures you stay comfortable throughout the day.
Pack the essentials, be patient and enjoy the experience!

If you want a bigger catch you should check the dates of when you can keep the wild salmon.

I did not see a lot of other boats catching a lot of fish. Few fish per boat. However, we limited with Full Melt Charters in less than 2 hours. Definitely go with this guy!

Bring a big cooler for all the fish you will be catching - they helped us pack up the fish and we got it all home without making a mess in my car but it would have been easier if I thought to bring my big cooler.

Not sure what the best time to fish in the Parksville area is but mid-August seemed to be pretty good.

The coastline is protected a bit by small rock islands which reduced the swells. We also go to see some sealions nearby.

Try to go in the morning as otherwise there may be fog which is still fine for fishing but not so good for sea sickness!

If you're staying in Port Renfrew, bring lunch and snack supplies. Bring hiking and rain gear, and a sense of adventure. Plenty of cool outdoor activities in addition to fantastic fishing opportunities.

It was nice to wait until the Chinook were in season so we could take one home for dinner. The weather was great, but layers are a must. Go with a good captain, like Captain Turk.
