    Scott was great!

    Half Day Trip (Spring Rates) • 8 adults

    Our family of 8 had an amazing day on the water with Scott! I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to fish in BC. We caught some great salmon and made some amazing memories. Scott took us to some amazing places and everyone got the chance to reel in a salmon during our trip. The bald eagle at the end was an amazing way to finish our day! Thank you Scott, great work!

    we had a very joyful fishing trip guided by Owen, at first, i hesitated if he could help us to catch the fishes since he was about 21 years old, even 10 years younger than my youndgest daughter. but later, we realized Owen in fact is very professional in fishing. people said “Dont judge people by its cover”, it is well said here., he helped us to catah a lot of fishes which were what we wanted : lincod and rockfish. we all were super happy through the whole trip, defintely will come back again. thank you Owen, our little but professional captain.

    We had a great two days of fishing, caught our limit the second day and had good catches the first day despite very high winds. The experience was one of the best I have had, really knowledgable and friendly captains who get you to the fish. Could not recommend more highly, we will be back!

    We came from Ontario! Owen was our fishing guide and a local to the area, so he knew all the right places to take us. We caught Lingcod and BIG Salmon. We ended our tour seeing & feeding bald eagles and sea lions. It was amazing!!

    We did a combination fishing and whale watching trip. As a family with 4 small children and larger (7) it is harder to find the ability to do things together. Scott was our captain and was amazing. Even when sum of us turned a little green and decorated his boat it was all in a days work. Our littles asked all kinds of questions and he answered like it was normal to have 3 degree. We caught our fish we wanted and then said we were ready for whales so moved checked that box then see lions and a few other animals! On the way in cleaning the fish with more 3rd degree Scott did a trick feeding a bald eagle a fish head. We all thought best part of the trip out!!! Thank you again Scott and group ❤️ anyone with kids go with him!!

    We recently booked a last minute 4 hour charter and were very happy with our experience. The captain of our boat, Owen, was experienced and confident and made the trip enjoyable. Our son caught 3 salmon, two chinook and one coho, and was very pleased with the trip. I would highly recommend this fishing charter.

What's biting with Oceans West Adventures in Ucluelet

Come November, the weather might prevent you from heading offshore. You might still catch Halibut and other bottom fish in the sound. As always, you can count on Chinook and Crab.

Squid Squid Squid!

Squid Squid Squid! That's whats on the brain of chonooks this time of year! A great start to the late June Chinook fishery in Florencia Bay and Food Islets this week. The Chinook Salmon are drawn to the shallow bays, teeming with squid this time of year. The fishery is shallow and very entertaining. Pound for pound, the squid feeding chinook are the hardest fighting fish of the year. There's nothing quite like catching a big salmon in 20-50 feet of water. The last three days have been an absolute hoot for our multi day crews and a couple afternoon family groups. The lingcod fishery is holding up nicely and continues to produce great numbers. Anglers are allowed 3 lingcod each right now. These white meat hunters stocked the freezer with 110lbs of ling fillets yesterday. Good show Fellas. Book a trip this week to get in on the action!
