    Excellent trip, on what was a slow day for every boat around.

    Full Day Trip • 4 adults

    We caught three good springs, on a day where they were not biting much for anyone. Lost two heartbreakingly close to the boat. The captain uses longer leaders, so to bring the fish closer to the edge of the boat, it’s advisable to step backwards. For salmon anyways. We didn’t do that on two, and that may be why we lost those two. Fantastic rock, fish, fishing, and we got a couple of links, but they were pretty slow. And a few Cabezon. Really amazing primitive, looking fish. The boat was not large, but it worked well for four guys. The captain was personable and professional. It’s nice to go out with somebody Who’s clearly having a good time.

    Response from Charter operator

    Wow, tough crowd. I spent 2 hours of my own time trying to find the particular type of fish you guys wanted while catching everything but. While I appreciate the recommendation, considering the $50 tip half of your group put forward, I don’t feel particularly inclined to accept another trip from you after reading your review. Best of luck out there. Respectfully, James

    Great day!

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    We had a great day with James. The weather did not permit for Halibut, but we still managed to keep 7 fish. Huge lingcods, cabezon, rock fish, Coho. The kid got sea sick a little and James was fast to suggest calmer water and still found us some fish to catch.

    Reported catch:
    Lingcod
    Rockfish
    Coho Salmon

    Great experience. Captain James was really freindly and put is on the fish. He was really patient with my kids and worked hard throughout the trip to make sure we were fishing all the time. 10 out of 10.

2026 season has o-fish-ially begun!

Apr 8, 2026 • Ucluelet
We had an awesome start to 2026 with a couple beautiful days on the water April 7 and 8. There has been an abundance of lingcod and rockfish in the area and we also found a number of Chinook salmon right off the Lighthouse in front of Ucluelet.

Things are heating up!

May 18, 2025 • Ucluelet
We are seeing some decent sized Chinook salmon showing up at the Red Can right off Ucluelet. Conditions have been "sporty" some days, with big NW swells and some windy days, but there have been good fish around to make up for the lump. We are also getting halibut trolling just offshore on the Lighthouse Bank, and lingcod are biting inshore as well.

Apr 13, 2025 • Ucluelet
April is upon us and the fishing off of Ucluelet is already excellent! There are lots of good sized lingcod around which are hitting gear trolled close to the bottom, and an abundance of Chinook salmon taking spoons trolled around 100’ deep. Book now to get your chance at some early season action!
