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 must’ve caught 75 salmon, but unfortunately, had to throw most of them back because they weren’t in season yet. Their equipment was first straight and they accommodated our every wish. If you’re looking for a small group fishing excursion, you found the captain and crew.

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.
