I have been fishing all my life. Many had suggested I become a fishing guide, so I took their advice and after working for a number of different fishing charters on the west coast of Vancouver Island, I started my own business called Reel Time Fishing Charters. With a passion for boating, fishing and the enjoyment of helping people catch fish, there has been no looking back!

Mel Savard5.0VerificatoUn'ottima uscita di pesca!
Uscita di 4 ore – In stagione • 4 adultiIl capitano Turk si è preso cura di noi e lavorava sodo per farci catturare delle belle prede. Ha risposto a tutte le nostre domande. Eravamo andati per la pesca al Salmone, purtroppo la fortuna non era dalla nostra parte. Tuttavia abbiamo pescato 1 grossa Molva e un altro pesce di cui ho dimenticato il nome. (sono una principiante in fatto di pesca) Ha abboccato diverse volte, quindi tutti sul barca hanno potuto avere la sensazione di catturare un grosso pesce. Lo raccomando caldamente per una bella uscita in oceano.

Connie Wu5.0VerificatoUn'Uscita di Pesca Divertente
Uscita di 4 ore – In stagione - 13:00 • 4 adulti • 1 bambinoIl capitano Andrew ci ha portato a pescare ed è stato professionale, competente ed esperto. Ci siamo divertiti moltissimo in acqua e abbiamo davvero apprezzato l'uscita. Se soffrite il mal di mare, tenetevi pronti: la barca può rollare parecchio a seconda delle condizioni. Nel complesso, è stata un'ottima esperienza e la consigliamo!

David Sweigert5.0VerificatoUn'Uscita Davvero Splendida!!!
Uscita di 6 ore - In stagione • 6 adultiOltre al tempo perfetto e al fatto che tutti nel nostro gruppo hanno pescato un bel Salmone reale, il capitano e l'equipaggio erano molto cordiali, disponibili e di supporto per i pescatori alle prime armi a bordo. Il nostro gruppo di 6 persone era unanime nel dire che questo era il miglior equipaggio e charter di pesca di sempre, in assoluto!

Hanno mantenuto un'atmosfera leggera e si sono impegnati al massimo per farci trovare i pesci da portare a bordo, e ci sono riusciti! Un grande grazie per una giornata così memorabile. Abbiamo fatto un charter di 4 ore, perfetto per assaporare la pesca in mare!

Randy Fennel5.0VerificatoUn capitano che ama il suo lavoro!
Uscita di 6 ore - Bassa stagione • 2 adultiIl capitano Turk è l'esempio perfetto di come dovrebbe essere un vero guida professionista e capitano... ospitale, CONOSCE la pesca e sa come catturare i pesci, ed è un appassionato sostenitore della conservazione. La barca era immacolata e pulita. Attrezzatura di prim'ordine e altamente affidabile.

Good Coho fishing continues in Nanaimo
lug 1, 2026 • Nanaimo
During the past month, Coho salmon fishing in Nanaimo has remained steady. On Canada Day, with calm water and warm temperatures, the bite seemed a little off. However, with some patience and perseverance, we were still able to get our great group of youngsters into a few fish they could take home for dinner.
With dinner aboard, we changed tactics and tried going for lingcod. Instead, we ended up catching some of the largest Quillback and Cooper Rockfish I have ever seen. A fun filled afternoon of fishing with lots of new experiences.
Looking for something to do while visiting Nanaimo or surrounding area? Consider a fishing adventure with Reel Time Fishing Charters. Take in the stunning beauty of Pacific Northwest while taking on some world class salmon fishing. Book a trip with us today :)

Best Lingcod & Coho Fishing in Years
giu 11, 2026 • Nanaimo
Over the past week, we have seen some great numbers of Coho Salmon moving through Nanaimo. When it comes to salmon, many people prefer these fish as they are excellent fighters and taste good too. In fact, Coho fishing has been so good that we've been able to split many of our half day trips up, allowing us to spend the remainder of the trip on the other fish that has been quite prevalent this year, Lingcod.
If you have never fished Lingcod, they are an excellent sport fish. They can grow fairly large with some weighing over 20 kgs (40 lbs). The larger fish can definitely put up a good fight. But the what most people like about Lingcod is the taste. Lingcod are a white meat although some may have a tinge of green or blue to them. They make excellent fish-n-chips but also bake well in the oven using your favorite spices.
Looking to enjoy a wonderful morning or afternoon on the water while catching some of the best eating fish in the Pacific Northwest. Book your next trip with Reel Time Fishing Charters & Marine Tours.

Best Lingcod Fishing in Years
mag 16, 2026 • Nanaimo
As we always say, May is the month for Lingcod. And this year has proven to be exceptional. On almost every charter this month, we have limited or nearly limited out on these great fighting, great eating fish. Our four hour trips are producing good size fish close to shore. Our off-shore 6 hour trips are producing smaller fish but better numbers.
If you are looking to take in some breath-taking beauty while catching some of the oceans best eating fish, book a trip with Reel Time today.

May is the Month for Lingcod
apr 27, 2026 • Nanaimo
May is the Month for Lingcod
They may be ugly, even scary looking. However, many anglers would say that Lingcod are the best eating and best fighting white meat fish found in the waters around Vancouver Island. And May is the month we start fishing for them.
These fish are primarily found near the bottom or on the edge of structure. Techniques for catching them vary. At Reel Time, we mostly troll for them with large swim baits. We catch them in water as shallow as 50 ft or as deep as 200 ft.
Our most popular half-day trips (4 hours) for lingcod usually mean 30 minutes of travel time each way allowing for approximately 3 hours of fishing. However, for better chances at more and larger fish, I recommend a 6-hour charter. These trips allow us more travel time to areas that are more productive. The scenery on these trips is also quite stunning.
If you are looking for an adventure that offers an opportunity to hook a legendary monster while experiencing the beauty of British Columbia’s west coast, book your lingcod adventure with us today. Chances are good, you won’t be disappointed.

With the dawning of a new year comes the start of a new salmon fishing season. And the months of January through March offer some fantastic action for the kings of the Pacific Northwest, Chinook Salmon.
Chinook salmon taken during this time of year are often between six to ten pounds with the occasional fish coming in at the low to mid teens. They look good, fight good and taste good. Our mild climate along with clear blue skies and snow capped mountains in every direction make for lasting life memories.

May is the Month for Lingcod

May is the Month for Lingcod
They may be scary looking, but they sure are tasty. In fact, if I had to choose between halibut or lingcod, I’d pick lingcod any day of the week. Problem is, I have always found them to be a little tricky to catch. So, when I do fish for them, I check tides and tide tables religiously. Once fishing, I work ledges and drop-offs keeping my bait as close to the bottom as possible.
The preferred method by many is jigging for lingcod. I like trolling for them using 4 to 8 oz swimbaits. It’s a lot of work and you must be on your toes since you are constantly bringing gear up and/or dropping it back down. But it can be a very effective way of hooking these “bucket heads” as they are sometimes called.
On opening day this year, my group of two and I were greeted by a beautiful sunny morning. Knowing I just missed the tide change on an ebb tide, I choose to fish the northwest side of Gabriola. Trolling two of my favorite 4 oz swimbaits, I watched my depth as I began to work an edge. Once alongside of Gabriola Island near the old Cannery, we finally started having some action. Unfortunately, our customers where Quillback, Cooper Rock Fish, and a very nice Yellow Eye and an undersized Lingcod. We still hadn’t found our prize fish.
With about an hour left in the trip, I was bringing up the gear as the depth changed from 160 to 90 feet when I noticed a slight bounce on the portside rod. I grabbed the rod yanking the line off the clip. I quickly handed the rod over to my guest and asked, “feel any better this time?” “Oh yes” was the reply. Five minutes later, we had our first nice lingcod aboard. Oh yeah!
If you enjoy eating white meat from the ocean, Lingcod is the way to go. And, with salmon closed until the beginning of June, it is all we’ll be fishing for. As I tell my guests, May is the month for Lingcod.
