    Busy day reeling!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Captain Cliff is an experienced laid-back captain who did his best to make an amazing fishing day. The day started a little slow but it soon picked up as the captain spotted good bait balls and we got busy reeling in fish every 15-20 minutes with a few double headers. We caught chinook, coho, and pollock. At the end of the day we were very tired from constantly reeling in fish. The boat is very clean with comfortable chairs, and has water and personal flotation devices for guests. My friend and I had an unforgettable fun day with his tour.

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon
    Coho Salmon

    Memorable Fishing Charter

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 3 adults • 2 children

    I took my two small boys on their first ever fishing charter for salmon, and it was a remarkable experience. Cliff was quick and responsive when booking. Daryl took us out and was an awesome guide. He was very knowledgeable of the area and ensured we were catching fish non-stop. We were fortunate enough to see grey whales in the distance most of the time we were fishing. Myself and my kids both rate the experience 5 stars.

    Reported catch:
    Coho Salmon

    Cliff knows where the fish are!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    We could only keep eight legal koho salmon but there were four in my party and for a five hour stent, we figured that we each caught 11 per person. when we went into dock, other charters caught 1 salmon all day! Cliff is quite low key, informative of the method of how to fish (as none of have ever done it before) and he took us to where they are!! What a blast!!! I recommend Cliffs Charters every day and twice on Sundays!!!!!

    Reported catch:

    Fantastic day on tje water. Our guide Darryl put us on fish was extrmely knowledgeable and made sure we had all the information needed to catch and land fish as well as keeping us safe. I would do it again with Cliffs Charters in a heatbeat. Made my trip west well worth it.

    Captain cliff was away, but daryl was a star in his absence. Boat was tidy and efficient. Daryl knew when, where and how to catch salmon this day. He handled boat and gear like a pro in the choppy conditions. Almost non stop action. Four of us caught our limits on hatchery coho and wild chinook, including one great fish just inside the limit for keeping. Threw many wild coho back as well.

What's biting with Cliff’s Chinook Charters in Comox

If you don't mind the cold, go trolling for Chum and Chinook Salmon. As the winter approaches, crabbing gets better and better.
