We had such a wonderful day and we feel lucky to be his penultimate charter before his second retirement. Thank you again Ivan! The fish, crab and shrimp were delicious and the kids still talk about the day.
Great crew on a great day! Thanks to all of you
Ivan is a great captain who took care of everything for us. Our team of inexperienced newb fishing folks still managed to catch a few 4-5lb Spring Salmon on this wonderful sunny Saturday afternoon in August and net in about 60 spot prawns! I didnโt realize that spot prawns are year-round when recreational fishing! Just be aware that when you go for spot prawns, it is not the same spot for the big fish and itโs better to leave the traps in for a full-day trip rather than a half-day tripโฆ So if youโre there mostly to fish, maybe skip out on the spot prawns for half-day trips. Also, Chinooks are allowed only after Sept, we missed out on that by a few days. Hopefully next year!

Thanks for a wonderful afternoon and I hope you enjoyed your fish and prawns.
Captain Ivan is a great guide with lots of experience and fun stories. Heโll explain every step of the way if youโre a newcomer and is patient, caring, and attentive. He is willing to accommodate whatever you want to do whether itโs crabbing, fishing, spot prawn fishing, and more.
We had a great time with Captain Ivan and definitely will come back in the future!

Thank you and your crew for battling the wind and water conditions. The sockeye salmon will taste even better knowing that you caught it!
We departed McDonald Beach on time at 7:05am after an informative safety and fishing briefing. We went directly out to the fishing grounds off the south arm of the Fraser River. We fished primarily in the deeper water, 400+ ft today. We had an epic battle with a seal that stole our first hit of the day. We lost a few to inexperience through the day, but mentorship from Ivan got us on track and we finished with 3 in the boat. A fabulous day. Ivan is a very experienced fisherman and guide and he shares his wealth of knowledge and experience with his guests. He taps into his network throughout the day to see where the bite is on and where itโs not. I highly recommend Ivan and I have already booked my next day on the water with him. Bringing a client this time.
