Highly Recommend Captain Scott

Half Day Trip

My wife and I, both first timers to salmon and ling cod fishing, had an amazing time with Captain Scott. He was patient, knowledgeable, friendly and treated us very well. We really appreciated that he designed the excursion around what we wanted and our experience. We learnt a ton! The fishing was as advertised.

Response from Captain

I really enjoyed our time on the water, it makes for a great day when all the elements cooperate. Fishing with those who enjoy what the ocean has to offer is one of the reason I do this. Fish in the boat is the reward. Thank you for your review, Hope we are able to do this again until then wishing you tight lines in your  future endeavours.

    5/5 stars - 3 unforgettable days of fishing

    Full Day Trip

    We just wrapped up an incredible 3-day fishing charter out of Port Hardy with Scott from Emerald Sea Adventures, and I can't recommend him enough. His boat and fishing equipment are top-tier, and his knowledge of the local waters is second to none. We completely slaughtered the bottom fish (especially the lingcod) and pulled in some fantastic salmon and halibut! To top it all off, Scott spotted whales and dolphins for us along the way. He’s super easygoing, warm, and great company on the water. Thank you for an unforgettable trip, Scott!

    2 full day charters 10 11 Aug 2026

    Full Day Trip

    This is our third year of chartering with Capt Scott onboard Rums Hot. Capt Scott is an extremely knowledgeable guide. The last 2 years we limited out and this year the salmon were scarce but we were not disappointed. The pics do not show our whole catch. I caught my first big "dragon" on this day and you can tell by the grin it was awesome. Lots of fish to take home and I prefer the white fish over the salmon. Lots of whales, Sea Otters some Orca's and great weather. We will be booking again next year. Thanks Scott
