Fish On Charters

Port Alberni, Canada
25+ reviews
Captain Barry Raynes has been fishing for over 25 years, so it's safe to say he knows a thing or two about exploring the fish-filled waters around Port Alberni. He's been running charters from this location for over 10 years, and has lived in Vancouver his whole life. He knows everything there is to know about fishing along Canada's West Coast!

    Great Day on the Water

    Winter chinook/Ling cod/Prawn • 2 adults

    We met our captain, Barry at 7:15am. He was courteous, friendly and extremely helpful all day long. Barry was very focussed on our comfort and on doing his best to see ensure that we caught fish. Since the season was “on” for Ling Cod, that was our focus and we caught our limit at a very comfortable pace which included a double ( my wife and I pulled in fish at the same time). Captain Barry made a stop at the scenic village of Bamfield to satisfy our interest and we were thankful for his flexibility to do that - its an unusual little spot with a nifty boardwalk running the length of the island town and the stop offered a nice break in the day. During our return trip we caught prawns and crab for good measure. That evening we feasted on cod, crab and prawns with preparation tips from Barry. A great ending to a rewarding day. Thanks to Barry.

    Reported catch:
    Lingcod

    Epic charter!

    Sockeye • 4 adults

    Even though it was raining, we had an awesome time and really enjoyed reeling in the fish. Barry is a fantastic captain—he kept an eye on both the boat and where the fish were biting the whole time. This fishing charter was worth every penny!

    Fabulous fishing!

    Sockeye • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had a great time fishing for sockeye salmon with Barry. He was knowledgeable, friendly and good with our 12 year old son. Would definitely recommend his fishing charter!
