Great Salmon Fishing Trip

6 Hour Trip4 adults

A two day fishing trip with Joe and Jessica was some of the best fishing we could hope for. Joe knew the waters around Nanaimo and found some of the best fishing I’ve ever seen. We must’ve caught 75 salmon, but unfortunately, had to throw most of them back because they weren’t in season yet. Their equipment was first straight and they accommodated our every wish. If you’re looking for a small group fishing excursion, you found the captain and crew.

    My Arms Are Tired!

    4 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    My 22 y/o daughter and I had a wonderful experience with Captain Joseph, and his wife Jessica! Lovely folks and a comfortable, well equipped boat. Great communication with us about what to expect from what we wanted to go for (Coho, Chinook, Lingcod, Prawns, and Dungeness), weather, licenses, etc. The waves were big, but Joseph made adjustments and we nearly hit the boat hatchery Coho limit. (I barely got a break between hits.) He filleted them up for us and they are ready to bring back to the US. Ate a big crab and salmon dinner!

    We had a great time going out and doing the 6 hr trip. Our son, who’s only hope was to catch crabs and shrimp, was not disapponted and they made sure we were all set all day.
