My 22 y/o daughter and I had a wonderful experience with Captain Joseph, and his wife Jessica! Lovely folks and a comfortable, well equipped boat. Great communication with us about what to expect from what we wanted to go for (Coho, Chinook, Lingcod, Prawns, and Dungeness), weather, licenses, etc. The waves were big, but Joseph made adjustments and we nearly hit the boat hatchery Coho limit.

A two day fishing trip with Joe and Jessica was some of the best fishing we could hope for. Joe knew the waters around Nanaimo and found some of the best fishing I’ve ever seen.

We planned this trip as a team building day to cap off a business planning session and it couldn’t have gone better. Captain Wallace was very responsive to messages before the trip.

We had another incredible trip with Joe. Everyone brought something into the boat. We hit our limit on lingcod and rockfish. Wrangled a couple Salmon and to finish it off we pulled in pots of prawns and crab! The weather was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better day.

We had a wonderful trip with Joe and Erin. Erin was so knowledgeable about the marine life and Joe had us on the fish. Conversation was great, views were spectacular and we wrestled fish into the boat. Gabriola is a wonderful island and we made an entire day of it. I highly recommend.
