We fish a wide variety of places depending
on the season and what type of fish we
are fishing for. Just a few of our destinations
are the Victoria waterfront, Constance
banks, Oak Bay, Haro strait, Juan de fuca
strait, Sooke, Otter point, Sheringham
point, Port Renfrew, Nit Nat Lake, Swiftsure
Banks. Long story short, "We go where
the fish are".
Our guides have been fishing local waters
for over 20 years and knows all the "Hot
spots".
Victoria waters offer a very mild climate
year round, which also provides for excellent
year round fishing. With our beautiful summers
and mild winters there are excellent fishing
opportunities all year.
Our quality sport fishing boats allow us to
hit all the hot spots until we find the fish.
(Although we've got a pretty good idea where
to start looking. |

Victoria Sooke waters offer excellent year round fishing. With
great Salmon and Halibut opportunities so close
to home it allows us to spend more time in the
fishing grounds. During the winter months we
usually fish Victoria waters and during the
summer months we usually fish Sooke waters.
Otter Point is another fishing experience that promises
to please. When the fish start stacking up here
put on the fighting belt, "Limiting out" is
not uncommon with lots of fish over 30 pounds
coming in. Once again there is a certain window
of opportunity within a 2-3 week period when
fishing is unbelievable. With the added distance
we have to travel for this trip we like to allow
at least 5-6 hours so we can spend adequate
time in the fishing grounds. As we travel a
long way from home, this trip is weather permitting.
Port Renfrew offers fishing
opportunities that most can only dream of. We fish Port Renfrew
for May through October. The fish gather at the mouth of
Nit Nat Lake where it opens into the ocean as they ready to
go up to the river to spawn.
This is one of the most exciting fishing experiences Vancouver
Island has to offer. A typical fishing day could include
a trip offshore to Swiftsure Banks for some world class Halibut
and bottom fishing and then wrapping up it up with some trolling
or cut-plugging for Chinooks.
Early Port Renfrew trips in May and June consist mostly of halibut
and bottom fishing only. Later October trips consist of some
of the best coho fishing on the coast. Both early and late season
fishing excursions are available at a reduced rates. Call today
to book. |
Chinooks known
as Spring Salmon in Canada, and King Salmon in
the U.S. range typically in the 3-60 pound range
with Chinooks over 30 pounds being called Tyees.
In the late summer months, Chinooks (Kings)
typically weigh-in anywhere from 10-60 pounds
with plenty of Tyees in the 30's and 40's. Once
you've tied into one of these monsters you'll
be hooked. The fight is incredible and all that
fresh fish is nice too.
In Winter months the Winter Springs are plentiful.
They typically range in the 5-20 pound range.
Although they are smaller than the summer fish
they are still great fighters and are excellent
eating.
Halibut fishing is good pretty much March through
December depending on tides. These fish range
typically in the 40 -100 pound range with the
occasional monster tipping the scales as high
as 200+ pounds.
Lingcod fishing
is available June through September and bottom
fishing is good pretty much all year round. |
