    Great morning on the water!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had a great half-day fishing trip with Captain Al from Top Rods Guide Service. Al was an excellent communicator from the time we booked right through the end of the trip, making everything easy and stress-free. While we didn't land any huge trophy fish, we caught a lot of fish and stayed busy all day, which made for a fun and enjoyable experience on the water. Captain Al worked hard to keep us on the fish, was knowledgeable about the area, and was great company throughout the trip. If you're looking for a well-organized fishing charter with a friendly and professional guide who puts in the effort to make sure you have a good time, I would definitely recommend Captain Al and Top Rods Guide Service. We'd be happy to fish with him again! 🎣

    I was on a cruise that stopped in Victoria BC and wanted to do some fishing. These guys worked with my schedule and made a great day of fishing happen.I ended up catching all four main species of fish that day! Cam was my Captain for the day and was extremely professional and polite. the boat and gear were great, and I will definitely fish with these guys again. Even caught my personal best king salmon.

His knowledge, professionalism, and positive attitude made the trip unforgettable. I highly recommend booking a tour with Captain Al—there's always a surprise waiting for you on the water!

    Captain Al was great.

    3/4 Day Trip • 4 adults

    We had a great time fishing with Captain Al. He kept the atmosphere fun and had great enthusiasm and energy. We caught a limit of large King Salmon and many small ones that were fun to catch. I definitely would recommend him to others looking to catch fish with a pro that’s easy to get along with.

    Response from Captain

    right on Charles I’m glad you guys had a good time. I sure did. That was lots of fun. Have a good rest of the trip here and have a safe trip back home and have a real good summer. Thanks again tight lines and happy face faces. Al
