Best trip ever!

8 Hour Trip2 adults

We had an absolutely amazing experience on the water! The captain was incredibly friendly, fun, and brought the best energy to the boat. He really knew his stuff and helped us land an unbelievable haul: Chinook, Coho, Rockfish, and plenty of crabs to top it all off! If you're looking for a top-tier charter, I can definitely recommend booking with him. We will absolutely be back!

Thank you so much Alex for the review and for coming out to fish with me. You had great questions along the way, very easy to get long with with great conversation and fishing. Hope to see you guys again sometime, maybe for your upcoming honeymoon 😉

    Minnesota knows fishing!

    6 Hour Trip4 adults2 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

    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.

    Incredible experience

    Fall/Winter/Early Spring Fishing2 adults

    My 18 year-old grandson wanted to fish in his grandmother so my husband and I gifted him this trip for Christmas. It was the first time he had saltwater fish, Captain Brandon went out of his way to make this trip unforgettable. My grandson landed three salmon, and one Pacific cod, the memories we made during this trip will never be forgotten. Our end of day Bonus was-the spot prawns the captain gifted us to take home thank you very much. Everything you did was truly appreciated.

    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.
