We had a very fun day with Capt Travis. He worked very hard to put us on fish and was successful. He has an easy way about him and was very engaging. Heโs very knowledgeable about fishing answering everyone of our questions. Would recommend him to anyone wanting a salmon fishing experience in Sooke BC.
Travis was an outstanding captain and host. My friends and I had a lot of fun and made a memory that will last forever.
2 big Chinook within the first 30 minutes- 7 Chinook caught and released altogether- kept 2 pinkies- realeaded several wild cohoe - afterwards Travis cleaned our catch and several harbour seals came by to eat our leavings - I could not ask for anything more.
The objective of the day was to introduce my kids to salmon fishing while in Victoria for vacation. Objective was met. We had a fabulous morning on the water with Captain Travis. Great boat. Solid equipment. Knowledgeable Captain. Lots of fish (Spring salmon, Coho salmon and Rock fish). Eagles. Whales. Calm waters and great weather. All the makings of a memorable day of salmon fishing. Highly recommend Reel Life Charters!
We had so much fun. The captain was so helpful and tried his best to find good spot for fishing. We had two chinook salmon and eight crabs for our dinner at the end of our trip. I recommend wearing layers in this season and have some snacks.
