Our family had such an awesome fishing trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better captain than Don! 🎣🐟

Don knew the area incredibly well and did a fantastic job sharing his knowledge, answering our questions, and teaching our boys all about the equipment, fishing techniques, and the area we were fishing. It was such a fun and educational experience for the whole family!

Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or a family heading out for your first salmon fishing experience, we highly recommend Captain Don! 🙌

🎣 He made the entire trip enjoyable, relaxed, and memorable.

Thank you, Don, for an amazing day on the water! 🌊🐟 We’ll definitely be talking about this fishing trip for a long time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My family cannot recomend Captain Don enough! We had been canceled on the day before by a different company so we decided to try again with Southern Swells and I am so glad we did! He checked the tides to give us the best possible start time and we all learned so much during our trip!

Our 2 kids were with us (5 and 7) and he answered all their questions and kept them so involved in the process of trolling and checking traps. He even lent us his own kids life jackets for the trip so we didn’t have to worry about sourcing some. They raved about our fishing trip the whole way back home!

So so thankful we found Captain Don and his family business, we had the best time out on the water. If we are ever back in the area we will book with nobody else but Captain Don at Southern Swell!

Captain and Don and John were a lot of fun to spend the afternoon with…they put my grandson and I on fish within 10 minutes of Leaving the dock and my grandson caught a 75cm salmon as his second fish within 20 minutes on board!!!  I highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to introduce kids to the sport of fishing!!!

Don and John were just the best! They were engaging and so helpful to people in our party - a couple of whom had never fished for salmon. We caught fish. It was a beautiful day! Highly recommend these guys!

We had a great family trip to Sooke and were welcomed by Captain Don & Jon..we had a fantastic trip out with our son..he reeled in plenty of salmon which we kept and brought home with our crabs from the pots. Great weather. great chats, laughs and very knowledgeable. Memorable time! We even got to see otters and seals at the dock. Highly recommend! 🐟🦀🪼🐚
