British Columbia, Canada•Member since 20265.0VerifiedNEWGreat experience ! 10/10 would book again
Full Day Trip • 2 adultsPerfect highlight to our vacation. Although I fell ill to sea sickness and had to cut our day short, captain Laurier was very kind and considerate. We started our day strong and were put onto fish very quickly despite unfavorable weather conditions. Captain Laurier's experience and local knowledge is second to none, his boat and equipment are all in top notch condition. We felt cared for and looked after every minute we were on his vessel. I would definitely recommend jigging for bait fish to use as live bait as its very interactive and exciting. I will definitely book this charter again in the future.

4 hour trip (PM) • 1 adultWhat an amazing day! I went on this fishing trip one-on-one with the captain, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. The fishing was fantastic, but what made the trip truly special was being so close to nature. Seeing bears on the shoreline and sea lions in the wild was just incredible. The captain was super friendly, explained everything along the way, and made sure I had a great time from start to finish. At the end of the trip, he even filleted and vacuum-packed all of my fish, which was a huge bonus. Even with the rainy weather, it was absolutely worth it. I had an unforgettable day and would book this trip again without hesitation. Highly recommended! Frank from Germany

4 hour trip (PM) • 2 adultsHad a very successful and very fun trip with Laurier. Overall it was a very exciting experience that had our adrenaline pumping every second of the trip. At one point, Laurier got a salmon on both rods for my spouse and I to reel in at the same time. Huge salmon, and proven that he knows the waters and has a ton of experience. At one point I got sea sick so he brought us to a place with calmer waters and still landed us salmon. He knows the spots! Bonus, he took us to see a sea otter as well as a momma bear and her two cubs. Highly recommend!

Half Day Trip (PM) • 4 adults • 1 childWe had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Laurier and couldn’t have asked for a better first experience! I took my three sons, and Captain Laurier was friendly and worked hard to put us on the fish. We caught some beautiful fish, and the excitement on my boys’ faces made it a day we’ll never forget. Everything was perfect. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter with an outstanding captain, I highly recommend Captain Laurier. Thank you for giving our family such a memorable evening.

Full Day Trip • 2 adultsCaptain Laurier is probably one of the hardest working guides out there. He tirelessly checked rods, lines and lures to ensure we had the best chance of catching fish as much as possible, and he got us on tons of different species - halibut, rockfish, lingcod and salmon - even when the fishing was tough and the conditions weren't optimal. I already want to go on another charter with him, and I'm definitely looking forward to booking again with Big Bite Charters!!
