    Honest captain, Vancouver Fishing

    7HR/2PERSON SALMON CHARTER • 2 adults

    Had a great trip with captain Speed. Beautiful scenery the entire time. Snow capped mountains, great seas, good company, and some good fishing. Pricing was considerably less than Vancouver city pricing verus guides around Granville Island, but a short 15 or so minute drive north. Captain Speed knew the area, put us on the fish, views of the area were beyond beautiful, worked hard the entire time, and was good company. But most importantly, he was an honest business owner and fisherman. I had over booked our trip last minute and he was quick to point out it might not be what I expected, and talked himself out of a few hours of fishing. His honesty alone made us stay the whole day. If you are looking for a great fishing experience, magnificent views, and an honest captain to steer you right on a Vancouver area fisging trip, call Captain Speed.

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon

    Even though we only got to keep one, everyone had an opportunity to catch a few. Captain Chris knows the area well and worked hard to make sure we brought in some fish. We enjoyed the experience and would recommend Built for Speed to other anglers.

    Reported catch:
    Coho Salmon

    Chris was very experienced and knowledgeable. He knew how to fish the area and didn’t waste a minute getting the gear out. He worked very hard to find the right lures and bait and successfully enabled us to catch Chinook and Coho. Can’t wait to go fishing again, with captain Chris.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Colin pleasurd having hiunout today. A great day!šŸŽ£ Captain Chris Speed
