5 Hour Trip2 adults

My son and I booked with Minnesota Charters for a day trip off the coast of Ucluelet. The trip exceeded our expectations. The trip was one of the most affordable on the booking site but we couldn't have had a better experience no matter what we paid. We both limited out on Chinook and Rockfish, saw some gorgeous coastal waterways, wildlfe and landscapes and enjoyed every minute of time on the water with Captain Brandon. We have been on many charter fishing trips in varying locations but had the best experience we have ever had fishing with Brandon. Highly highly recommend booking with Minnesota Charters.

    Brandon is the best captain ever!

    4 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    My boyfriend and I had a great 5 hour fishing trip. Brandon welcomed us on board, and cared about out safety and comfort. We trolled for salmon for awhile (catching 4) while having great conversation- Brandon is very knowledgeable and could answer every fishing and random question we had. Then finished with some quick jigging or rockfish and we caught 2. Also something very important to us was the treatment of the fish, Brandon has a very good method for dealing with the fish once caught. We would love to come back and will always try and fish with Brandon if available!

    Thanks Brielle! Hope you enjoyed your seafood feast. Ikejime! Come back anytime!

    Minnesota knows fishing!

    6 Hour Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    Cpt Brandon was fantastic. Not only did we catch fish- and all different kinds- he catered to the attention of everyone on the boat. My oldest son was able to catch 2 new species and land his own Salmon. My youngest was overjoyed to catch multiple rockfish and get a close look at the Sea Lions. We caught Halibut, Ling Cod, he even let the boys bring up one of his crab pods. Having fished his whole life, Brandon was generous with his experience and knowledge. With gratitude, we reflect on a special experience watching “Buddy” -a bald eagle snipe a salmon head mid air. The whole trip was fantastic- five stars

    Thanks for coming out and supporting my small business, Brad. Your boys were great! It's always fun for me to see their faces light up from catching monster fish. Hope to see you all again sometimes

    Some Days Are Unforgettable!

    4 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    My husband and I have always wanted to fish for Salmon. Brandon was amazing and so knowledgeable about the area. We caught lots of fish, but only kept a few. We were catching Chinook and Rock Cod and ended the day observing a Sea Lion Colony. The boat had all the safety features and the scenery was beautiful. Thank you Brandon for looking out for two very senior anglers. We would do it all over again.

    Went fishing during the Herring spawn. 15 minutes bites in we saw a whale breaching and showing us her tail. Caught 4 chinook. Then just when you think it couldn’t get any better, about 30 bald eagles started attacking a herring bait ball driven to the surface by diving birds. Take that National Geographic!! Captain Brandon knows his stuff! Cool bits of information about the people who have lived here forever, the politics of the fisheries, the animals and of course the fish and how to catch them. Brandon is worth more than he’s charging. Can’t wait to come back.

    Best Charter in years

    5 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Captain Brandon was amazing, the communication before the charter was spot on with the links for a fishing license and directions to the marina. We dropped crab traps on the way out and then off to fish. Captain Brandon was very knowledgeable about the history of Ucluelet and fishing,we had good conversations and banter during the charter. Boat and gear was in great condition. Would highly recommend Minnesota charters!
