Captain Todd has been fishing the waters of both East and the West Coast of Vancouver Island for over 30 years. He says: 'My Dad was a commercial Salmon fisherman. I used to tag along at a very young age so fishing was in my blood early'. Captain Todd is an expert on targeting Salmon, Halibut, and Lingcod, and always throws in the crab cage so his guests can later enjoy the super delicious Dungeness Crab. It's all about going the extra mile and making every customer a returning friend for many years to come.

    Got to share this experience with my son-in-law and my 11 year old grandson. Captain Ken took good care of us despite wind, rain and waves. We got to swap stories inbetween bites and he kept everybody smiling.

    Best guide ever.

    Half Day Trip • 1 adult

    Besides his 30 years experience and catching our limit you leave feeling like you’ve made a friend for life. I couldn’t recommend him higher.

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you Ron, it was my pleasure taking a true fisherman out for a great afternoon. I look forward to slaying some Halibut with you on Tuesday

    Thanks Ken/High rollers!

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Our family had a great time fishing with Ken this Aug! Ken was fantastic- knowledgeable, patient and worked hard to get us onto the fish! Hit our salmon limit and also got a halibut. Bonus was seeing some porpoise and a shark! It was my 14yr old son’s first charter trip and Ken had him help out and taught him all about fishing on the ocean which was awesome. Lots of smiles and memories made on top of great fish to take home. Thanks so much Ken!

    Todd is highly professional as your fishing captain with many years of experience in his craft. He’s engaging and personable while working hard all day to get his clients their fish. Couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water with our new friend. Cheers from DB and the guys

    After a delay caused by mother nature, we made it out on the water for a great day of fishing. We put the fish on ice and raced back to catch the ferry home.

Thank you to Grant McAuley and the rest of his crew for a fun day of Chinook Salmon fishing in Nanaimo this morning. Started off with a bang landing 5 prime chinooks including one caught by JIM that weighed in at 18 pounds! Caught 2 more keepers after that, our 8th fish was elusive so 1 short of our limit. All in all a great day! topped if with some Dungeness crabs
