    Trip was great!

    Full Day Salmon Only Fishing Trip3 adults

    Our trip with Last Chance and capt Kelly was a great 6 hours on the water. we were on fish within the first 45 minutes, and we were able to put a couple keepers in the fish chest! Wifes shopping list for some salmon was checked off! Kelly was knowledgeable and was able to switch up gear and locations quickly to get on the fish that were biting. we fished to the last minute. and he even cleaned and filleted the fish for us. Capt Kelly was also quite accommodating with our two small dogs, even when they decided that it was a good time to have a sibling fight and had to be separated. I would definitely book again with Last Chance. Kenny

    Finally got a decent salmon!

    Half Day Trip Salmon Only (PM)3 adults

    Captain Kelly worked very hard to get us the fish we wanted - a good size 70+ cm salmon. We worked hard for it, and we had to fight through tons of tiny Chinook until the big ones finally started biting just 30 mins before the charter ended, but eventually Captain Kelly got us into the bigger ones after trying his hardest! Captain Kelly even agreed to extend our charter time by 45 minutes just to make sure we had the best chance at big fish. I would highly recommend this charter to others!

    You bet, it started off slow about finished with a bang it was a lot of fun.

    End of season charter experience

    Half Day Trip Salmon Only (PM)4 adults

    We had a blast, Kelly knows the waters and knows how to land you on the fish. The highlight was fishing a triple, all 3 rods bent within 5 seconds of one another. It was an experience my Alberta inlaws will remember forever.

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon
    Coho Salmon

What's biting with Last Chance Fishing Adventures in Sooke

In some years, the Halibut and Lingcod fishing might start slowing down the end of September. But this is still a great time to fish for Salmon, or to find out what's biting in Sooke River.
