Captain John's father was a certified Captain and he taught him at a very young age of 12 years old to start to fish and operate a vessel. It can be said it was a family pastime in the beginning, but the captain's love and passion for fishing eventually evolved into a career for him.

    Great Guys Trip!

    5 Hour Trip • 5 adults

    Captain John could have cancelled on us due to a tournament being held that morning, and he could have cancelled on us when his mate became unavailable last minute. Instead, he persevered through challenging conditions to deliver the big fish the Groom on our bachelor day desired! Great day on the water, Captain John and the new mate Mason were excellent.

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon

What's biting with North Shore Charters in Oakville

November will put most of the charter boats out of the water, but that doesn't mean that all the action has to stop. Grab a rod and fight the cold!
