Captain Al is an incredibly experienced and personable guide. He worked hard to make sure we had a great time, whether we were catching fish or dealing with the ones that got away. His knowledge, professionalism, and positive attitude made the trip unforgettable. I highly recommend booking a tour with Captain Al—there’s always a surprise waiting for you on the water!

Capt Al came down ill, but set us up with his pal Capt Jesse on the Sea Leggs. This was one of my best fishing trips of all time, and I fish quite a bit at home. I had my 3 boys with me, ages 10, 9, and 6, for a winter salmon trip. started at 33 degrees, but we dressed warm and the 23 Grady kept the wind at bay. the weather was perfect and Capt Jesse had us on fish within 10 minutes. his positivity was great and we ended up catching our limit in no time. We saw a bald eagle, humpback... More

I was on a cruise that stopped in Victoria BC and wanted to do some fishing. These guys worked with my schedule and made a great day of fishing happen.I ended up catching all four main species of fish that day! Cam was my Captain for the day and was extremely professional and polite. the boat and gear were great, and I will definitely fish with these guys again. Even caught my personal best king salmon.
