I have been avidly fishing local waters around Vancouver and Vancouver Island since I was a little boy. I still feel like that little boy when I am out on the water chasing Salmon. I just love sharing, teaching, and guiding anglers of all experience levels. I feel lucky to get the opportunity to share the beauty of our local area as well as the bounty of our Salmon and Crab fishing with guests from all around the globe. I enjoy watching the big smiles of kids of all ages hook into and fight a wild Pacific Salmon. I am an airline pilot by profession but my passion is fishing and in particular Salmon fishing on the ocean. You are in great hands with me or one of my professional guides. Pursuit Sport Fishing has been in operation since 2012.

    Great tour with a fantastic guide

    8 Hour Trip • 2 adults • 1 child

    On Father's Day, my son and I got to enjoy an absolutely fantastic fishing trip in beautiful weather. With our experienced captain, Guy, we caught about 20 salmon, and my son (and I, too) were simply blown away. We highly recommend this tour—thank you so much again!!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Peter for your business and your kind review. Guy and I just love hearing that you and your son had a good time on Fathers Day. That puts a big smile on our facea.

Excellent Chinook fishing

May 4, 2023 • Richmond
Currently, the chinook fishing is exceptional. Although it is catch and release only we are having amazing catches of chinook salmon. Crab fishing has been decent. This is a great opportunity to create memories. Take some great photos and have a wonderful day perhaps doing something you’ve never done before.

Good chinook bite lately

Mar 22, 2023 • Richmond
We’ve been having some very good chinook fishing the last month here in local waters around Vancouver. Trolling a variety of artificial spoons and squid patterns have been producing on the Tide changes. Crab fishing has been average and prawn fishing has been good.
