Background
Hi I was in the navy for 22 years and a Technical Inspector for 11 years. I have been fishing in and around Vancouver Island for 30 plus years. Guiding is my passion
Techniques
Trolling for salmon is the most effective way to increase catch rate. Anchoring for halibut is my preference. Open to fishing at the customers preference.
