We had a great time with Curtis! He was friendly, funny and was focused on giving us a great experience. There was not a lot of fish being caught on the day we went out so he amazingly offered to take us out again the next day. We got to catch quite a bit more the next day. You can tell that he loves what he is doing and is having fun and it shows. Great experience. He also knows the waters and is persistent in finding the right area so that his customers can catch fish!

Captain Curtis definitely knows how to catch fish. Even with the bad water we had to work with. We caught our limit on chinook and halibut. Boat is top notch. He takes it personal when one gets away but every true fisherman I know does. Curtis went the extra mile to get fish into the boat.

I just recently went on my first fishing trip with Curtis Chaplin of Overtime Charters and had a blast! Curtis has many, many years of experience fishing the Ucluelet area and it shows.
He knows where to go and how to catch the fish. He absolutely went the extra mile to make sure we left with a ton of fish!
If you’re new to fishing, Curtis will show you how. If you’re experienced, he’ll set you up. I enjoyed the many stories Curtis shared. He is very friendly and very welcoming.
You will also be very hard pressed to find a charter with a nicer fishing boat.
Highly recommend.

We have thoroughly enjoyed all of our highly successful fishing adventures with Curtis!  He is so knowledgeable about where to find the fish and what gear is most effective.  His clear instructions and support as you bring in a hooked fish are such that you can feel comfortable that the fish will be in the boat.  In each of the four occasions fishing with Curtis, we have limited out on Coho and Spring salmon - and got our share of halibut. 
Curtis’s boat is of such a size as to be safe and comfortable no matter the water.  Of course, he is cautious about deciding where to fish given the water conditions.
So, if you are looking for expert guidance in catching salmon and halibut, Curtis and Overdrive is an excellent choice.  Overdrive Charters demonstrates Curtis’s fishing style: locate the fish, use the right gear, support each guest to bring in the fish, and, do all the cleaning/filleting of the catch in preparation for packaging.  A class operation to be enjoyed!

Had a trip booked with Curtis for the afternoon and there were strong winds in the forecast. Curtis offered to start early and that made it possible to get three nice chinooks in the boat before noon. Even though the strong winds made it harder and limited our location to fish, Curtis made sure there was a line in the water at all times. Overall a super enjoyable trip for our group with great nature. Definitely recommend!
