I've started my guiding career on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Years ago, I came to Tofino and got hooked on catching Chinook Salmon. This is my passion and I love to share it with other people.

    Fantastic quick Lighthouse Loop

    Lighthouse loop - 3:45 PM • 6 adults • 1 child

    Group of inexperienced fishers, really just looking for a bit of fun. Andrew clearly knows his stuff, taking much more serious fishing parties out most of the time. His knowledge of the area and fishing meant we had a great time

    Solid day, great catch!

    Early season special • 6 adults

    Thanks Andrew for the great day! Was a young inexperienced group who needed lots of guidance. Your patience and experience was consistent and created long lasting memories for all! Oh ya 100lbs of fish helps too. Highly recommend Slacktide Charters.
