Just a damn good time with good guides. These guys put in the effort to go out and get it. Thank you for great time on the water.

We had an excellent fishing experience with Rodfather Fishing. The crew of Jay and Bruce made our adventure memorable and I would recommend this experience to anyone.

I want to start out by saying how impressed I am at the professionality of Jay and Bruce. These two guys are absolutely incredible if you are going to the greater Victoria area I highly recommend booking a fishing charter through the rod father fishing and outdoors adventures.we start the day at location you’ll be given upon booking. Absolutely stunning; you’ll meet the fellas the day of at 6am. When me and my girlfriend first met them at the marina, we looked at eachother and had the look of “these guys are gunna be fun”. First thing Jay did was help Emma onto the boat (who says chivalry is dead) and I onto the boat; Bruce gave us a life preserver and they immediately showed us how to properly don and inflate the lifejackets and a safety talk of what to do in the case of an emergency and worst case scenario. While Jay completed his safety check. We were off. Not even 10 minutes on to the boat ride we stopped and a set of crab pot in the water. Being very mindful of where the commercial guys pots were. I respected that. They knew what they were doing. Where they were going and how they were going about it. No messing around. Boat was very clean and organized too I might mention. They also got a brand new Yamaha 150 4 Stoke outboard motor so you can actually here yourself think and talk. It’s nice. They dropped anchor explain everything they were doing and even let me help them. Learn alot that day. Not 2 minutes after the anchor was on bottom so was the bait. Hammered a skate right First thing (stingray type thing) but what I was there for was a halibut I had messaged Jay saying I was eager to have my girlfriend reel in a halibut a week prior. 845ish. BOOM halibut on. They were so collected. Calm and clear with what to do(I’ve been In a few deep-sea charters, fish on is chaos) Bruce and Jay. Just true sportsmen man. I didn’t want it to end. We got the 83’ halibut Landed and bled. We chat and tell story’s for another while when the clock rolls around and its time to head in. Got one rod in and out away and just as we start reeling in the last of bottom. Jay gets a hit and the fish spits it out. But our times up I thought. NOPE these 2 didn’t care about the time. They cared about another fish for us. They reeled in. Re baited and back down 300 feet to bottom. Boom dogfish on! We land it and the fish swallowed that hook good. Bruce and Jayson handed that fish with just care and finesse. It swam away unharmed. Me or you tired that we would have a dead fish..class act you guys. Seriously. I’ve never been on such a professional comfortable charter. Don’t think about it. Book these guys. You will be very pleased with memories for life. Remember fishing is called fishing. NOT CATCHING. A catch is not a guarantee with any charter. Be thankful you had a good day on the water with your family and friends even if you didn’t catch something. Remember they gave up there personal time with there family to be with yours. Be kind. Tight lines and thanks for the memories! Connor & Emma

I can’t say enough good things about Jay and Bruce, but I’ll try to describe the whole thing to you.

We start early, but it’s so worth it. By 6 am, I had caught a beautiful Chinook salmon that would have made all the other fishermen on the water jealous.

The gear and supplies is well-maintained and high-quality. They know their stuff, and it shows in the equipment they use and how they care for it.

Their knowledge is also second to none. They were willing to explain any detail I asked about, and then some, so that I had fun and learned a lot too.

Finally, they were so much fun. Fishing is an exciting hobby, but fishing with the Rodfathers is a whole new level. They are just as excited for you to catch something as you are (if not more) and they make you feel like a rockstar for reeling a fish in.

What more could you ask for, really?

I’m so grateful to Rodfather Fishing And Outdoor Adventures for a day I’ll never forget.

Best day of fishing ever! Lines were in the water within 15 minutes and we were getting hits almost immediately! Limited out within 3 hours. Really enjoyed the banter and jokes from Jay and Bruce, but once a fish was on they were all business!
Great job boys will definitely go out with the Rodfather again!
Thanks for an unforgettable day!
