- Background
- Introducing Sooke Saltwater Fishing: Your Premier Destination for Unforgettable and Safe Ocean Fishing Excursions! Meet Tristan, a true local legend from Southern Vancouver Island. Between fishing, open ocean sailing, competitive sailboat racing and free diving, Tristan is at home on the ocean. Whether he is targeting sought-after Halibut in the spring, participating in the world-class local Salmon fishery, hunting big game in the fall or chasing elusive Steelhead in the winter, Tristan is a true west coast outdoorsman. A well-known and respected member of both the local fishing scene and community, he is always happy to share his knowledge of fishing, wildlife and local history. He loves cooking seafood as much as he loves harvesting it, so no matter what you come home with, he will know how to prepare and cook it. Ask him about a tasty meal idea! And then there's "5 Star Donnie." Born and raised along the shores of Windsor, Ontario, Donnie's journey from the Royal Canadian Navy to the helm of Sooke's fishing community is as remarkable as his passion for the water. With a dedication to safety forged during his naval service, Donnie ensures every excursion is not only thrilling but secure for you and your family. Beyond fishing, Donnie's commitment to preserving memories extends to showcasing Sooke's rich wilderness and wildlife. With his Métis heritage adding depth to his identity, "5 Star Donnie" guarantees top-tier service and unforgettable moments on every trip. Whether you're seeking a tranquil day on the water or an action packed experience, Sooke Saltwater Fishing offers a safe and memorable adventure tailored to your desires. With Tristan and "5 Star Donnie" at the helm, get ready for a fishing experience like no other!
- Techniques
- Trolling with downriggers for Pink, Coho or the mighty Chinook Salmon. Or run up the coast for an anchor set up to target tasty Halibut. Sooke also offers a variety of bottom fish to target in our calm sheltered oasis. Dungeness crab are abundant in our local waters, and we always set traps on our way out of the harbour.
