I love the beautiful nature and scenery found on the west coast. I started fishing when I was little and loved it ever since. When I moved to Vancouver Island, I felt the need to buy my own boat and start fishing. After attaining the necessary qualifications to be a Fishing Guide, I started to guide people on fishing adventures. On our fishing trips, we have lots of fun.

    Great trip with Captain Luke

    HALF DAY SALMON (AM) • 2 adults

    We had a fantastic day out with Captain Luke and can't recommend him enough. We came home with salmon, mackerel, and even some crabs, so there was plenty of action from start to finish. Luke was friendly, funny, and great company all day. He made us feel welcome right away and kept the mood light, while clearly knowing exactly what he was doing out on the water. The boat felt very safe and well looked after, which made it easy to relax and just enjoy the fishing. He mentioned he's just bought a new boat too, so future trips might be even better. All in all, a great experience. We'll definitely be back!

    A birthday well spent

    Sunset Evening Trip (Salmon,Bottom} • 2 adults

    I wanted to try out a fishing charter for the first time since living in the island for more than 10 years. I have fished stock lakes and rivers but never on open water. Luke was very accomodating and friendly. I bought my girlfriend, mom and my little brother for their first time experience as well. We caught a lot of wild Salmon at the first 30 mins of our charter. we had to let them go but fighting them on a rod was good fun. We managed to get 4 huge Coho and when we pulled out our crab pot by the end it is full of crabs! we easily caught our near limit of crabs and salmon. He even gave me one of his crab traps as a present for us. Thank you Luke for giving my family and I and amazing time!

    An Unforgettable Day on the Water! 🎣🌊

    Sunset Evening Trip (Salmon,Bottom} • 2 adults

    We had an absolutely incredible ocean fishing experience in Sooke, BC, and Captain Luke made the entire day unforgettable! From the moment we stepped aboard, he was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making sure we had an amazing time. Captain Luke knew exactly where to go, kept us engaged throughout the day, and made the whole experience feel effortless and exciting. His expertise, great attitude, and attention to detail truly made the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water and would highly recommend Captain Luke to anyone looking for an incredible fishing experience in Sooke! We had such a fantastic time and can’t wait to get back out there and utilize his services again. Thanks for an amazing adventure, Captain Luke! Until next time! 🎣🤙

    HALF DAY SALMON (PM) • 2 adults

    My girlfriend and I love to fish! We typically do it together, only fishing from shore or wading in shallow rivers. This time we decided to hire a professional charter, and we could not have been more pleased with the experience. Luke’s professionalism and patience were top-tier – which to us, should be the standard. We fished in late December on a cold morning, but it turned out to be the most beautiful day and we caught three gorgeous salmon and one Ling cod. He also took us crabbing and shrimping. Luke made the booking process extremely easy was very responsive with messaging and we can’t wait to tell all of our friends and personally visit back soon! -Dani and Patrick

    A trip to remember !

    HALF DAY SALMON (AM) • 3 adults

    What a fantastic day on the water. The weather was perfect and our captain was exceptional- knowledgeable, safety focused, and clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to show us around and share insights that made the experience even more enjoyable. Despite the strong currents and it being off season, we came home with an impressive haul of crab - and were even sent home with halibut, which was a great bonus. We truly couldn't recommend this tour more. Everyone left smiling. It was an unforgettable experience.

    Captain Luke was great! We had some choppy water and half of our people were feeling sick. Captain Luke got us into some calmer water and worked to get us on some fish. No fish this time, but we did get some crabs and shrimp from the pots. We very much enjoyed the trip, scenery, and Captain Luke. Even though we didn't land any fish, Captain Luke gave us some halibut to take home!

    We had a outstanding day on the water. We lucked out with calm seas and a blue bird day. Captain Luc was an excellent host and guided us through our first experience Salmon fishing. We were able to be very involved in everything including dropping and pulling the crab traps, and post fishing learning how to fillet. Bonus was the local Harbour seals coming to enjoy all the fish trimmings. Luc made this trip perfection.

    From the start Luke was a great Captain. He informed us of what we had in store for the charter and explained where we would head out to as we begin our hunt for fish. Just 10mins in a hit a nice big Coho. Thanks Luke for the great experience. 👍
