    outstanding fishing trip

    Halfday Trip April/May3 adults

    Had an absolutely fantastic experience on this fishing charter. Captain Dean was warm, friendly, and made everyone feel welcome from the moment we stepped on board — a true professional with a great personality.   The boat was impressively well-equipped and immaculately maintained, giving us full confidence throughout the trip.   We reeled in an incredible variety of fish! Captain Dean clearly knows these waters inside and out, always putting us right where the action was.   And to top it all off — after the trip, the captain went above and beyond by cleaning and filleting all our fish for free. That kind of generosity is rare and truly appreciated. We left with full coolers and huge smiles!   Highly recommend this charter to anyone. We'll definitely be back!

    Awesome trip!

    3/4 Day Trip Afternoon3 adults

    We had such a great day out with Captain Dean. My 16-year-old son was so looking forward to the trip and it didn’t disappoint. Captain Dean took us to a number of spots fishing for different species and we caught at least five or six different types. My fishing mad son was over the moon with his catches. The boys landed several large Salmon the biggest fish they had ever caught. Captain Dean was really personable and entertained us for the whole six hours. to top off the trip, we had an amazing experience with a bald eagle and had a beautiful sea otter swimming near our boat.  on the hole it was a brilliant day out, even for the mum of a kid obsessed with fishing and I would absolutely recommend going out with Captain Dean! If we get back to Ucluelet we would defibitely go out woth him again - such a lovely guy! Must son will be talking about this and showing off hos photos for some time!!!!

    Amazing family fishing experience!

    3/4 Day Trip Morning3 adults

    Cannot recommend Capt Dean enough! Not only did we catch fish, but he made sure the entire experience was rewarding for our family. He put us on our our first catch within minutes of arriving at our first stop - huge win and smile from our teenage son. Hit some choppy water but Dean found a way to get us to calmer waters and more fish. Even an eagle got in on the action - incredible memories. Thanks, Capt Dean!

    Reported catch:
    Rockfish

    Dean Slayed em!

    Full Day Trip2 adults

    My headline sounds like a rock band. My wife, son and I did an 8hr tour with Dean. we had a blast! 4 x Big Chinook, 2 x Coho, 3 x Halibut (1 monster), 2 x Sole. All In 6.5hrs-7hrs. More than anything, I’d like to thank Dean for the fantastic atmosphere and experience. The fish were hitting which is always nice, just hanging with a good dude makes all the difference. Thank you Dean!

What's biting with Peninsula Charters in Ucluelet

Salmon and Halibut fishing are still strong, both offshore and in Barkley Sound. You're likely to catch Lingcod and Sockeye on the side. Drop a few crab traps and come home with a full cooler!
