    Skylars Fishing was serious fun!!!

    Crabbing founder and dog fishing • 2 adults

    I had an absolute blast on Skylar’s Fishing Charter! Pravin was our captain for the day on an 8-hour charter, and from start to finish, it was an incredible experience. His boat was spotless, fully equipped with all the bells and whistles, and you could tell right away that safety was his top priority. He took the time to explain everything — navigation, fishing techniques, locations, weather patterns, water conditions — which made the whole trip even more interesting and educational. We launched out of Richmond and headed out to drop crab traps near UBC, then set our prawn traps before finishing the day trolling for salmon. I’ve never done crabbing, prawning, and salmon fishing all in one trip before — it was the ultimate BC seafood experience! Before the trip, Pravin was completely upfront and honest, letting me know that salmon fishing had been slow. But he was confident we’d likely limit out on spot prawns and crab — and he was right. Eight hours later, we landed 4 salmon, 6 Dungeness crabs, and trap after trap loaded with spot prawns. And honestly? The spot prawns alone made this trip unforgettable. Being able to bring home fresh spot prawns in February is incredibly rare — you usually have to wait until May to even see them in stores. As a big spot prawn fan, this was a dream come true. This trip was worth every dollar. I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend this charter to anyone in BC or visiting BC. If you want a fun, hands-on, and truly memorable day on the water — this is it!

    It was an amazing trip!

    salmon fishing • 4 adults

    Pravin worked hard at finding the right spot to put down the riggers and didn’t waste anytime changing the bait if a line wasn’t getting any action. Did that ever pay off. We were getting fish on sometimes double headers. Some were catch and release but the 4 of us all brought home some nice coho and a spring and a bonus of 8 crabs from his traps. Pravin was very polite and hospitable and worked hard at making it a great experience! We we’re 4 not including Pravin and it’s doable but 3 might be more comfortable.

    It was an amazing trip!

    Afternoon half day • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a wonderful time — Pravin really knows how to fish! He put in the work, cycling through different tackle combinations and trolling several spots until he found where they were biting.

What's biting with Skylar's Fish On Charters in Vancouver

By October, most of the Salmon has left the ocean for their long journey upstream to spawn. This makes for unforgettable fly fishing in the rivers, especially for Chum and Coho Salmon. Sturgeon is also good at Hope and Chilliwack.
