I have been a lifelong fisherman. Started as a young boy fishing lakes and rivers and graduated to the deep and wild water of the Pacific Northwest. Quickly gained a reputation as a avid angler that could target all the most wanted fish and seafood. From salmon and lingcod to prawns and crabs. Nothing gives more joy than being on the water getting after it!

Geoffrey Marx5.0VerifiedMy Arms Are Tired!
4 Hour Trip • 2 adultsMy 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. (I barely got a break between hits.) He filleted them up for us and they are ready to bring back to the US. Ate a big crab and salmon dinner!
Response from Charter operatorthanks!! you guys are lots of fun and know how to handle some very rough water! It was our pleasure!
David Degner5.0VerifiedGreat Salmon Fishing Trip
6 Hour Trip • 4 adultsA 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.

4 Hour Trip (AM) • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe 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.

Early fall sees the arrival of Chum Salmon. Other Salmon species are still high in numbers but their peak season is slowly coming to its end.
