I went on a charter with Marc for winter chinook salmon and hooked up to many in excess of 10 pounds. The fish in the area are abundant and we also caught many other species like Lingcod and rock cod. We came home with a cooler full of salmon. During the day we were given a thoughtfully prepared delicious lunch. We seemed to be pulling a fish in every few minutes. Marc plans the timing of the trip to match the best time the fish are biting. We found there to be great value with this charter and ended up chartering two days for what one day with another company would cost. The boat is comfortable with enclosed seating area to eat lunch and fishing/safety equipment were all high quality. I highly recommend this charter.

Our fishing rods were busy hooking up double headers at times, making exciting action throughout the day.
Captain Marc was very flexible to change our charter date to accommodate the best weather and tides.ย Captain Marc launched at dawn on a very cold winter morning.ย We arrived at the fishing grounds within 20 minutes and caught our first fish, Lingcod, in short order.ย Between cat naps, we caught a number of Lingcod between 8lbs & 20lbs. & a caught few small salmon.ย I had a good time fishing with PWC Salmon Angler.
Winter fishing always surprises me with big fish
Captain Marc spotted Orca Whales on our route to the fishing grounds.ย He brought us to camera range an witnessed the Orca pod โfishingโ for spring salmon.ย Once Captain Marc reached the fishing grounds, we hooked up to coho & pink salmon.ย It was a great day on the water!
Orca whales are protected in Canada
Marc was fantastic, and the boat ride was incredible. We went for catch-and-release salmon fishing, even doing some DNA sampling. Setting crab traps at various spots added to the fun. Catching my first fish was an amazing experience. Marcโs extensive knowledge of the area, particularly the inlets, enhanced the trip. It was an overall fantastic experience, thoroughly enjoyed by me and my friends from work.
It was also their first time fishing on the seas inshore of Vancouver Island
We had a lot of fun with Captain Marc and caught some nice fish ๐ Various snacks and drinks were also on board, so all in all we were well looked after!
