Stephen Kaizer5.0VerifiedExperience pays dividends
3/4 Day Trip on August 26, 2024 • 2 adultsWe took the advice and let Captain Matt take us where he knew there were fish instead of sticking to our original plan. We all caught our limits and had a lot of fun doing it. Will use again and recommend to my friends. Thanks for the great memories Captain Matt!

3/4 Day Trip on May 20, 2023 • 2 adultsWent out with Graham for halibut as the salmon was a bit slow for the time we went. Had a great time and limited out and then came home and fried up a fillet! Everyone was great to deal with and we had a great time

3/4 Day Trip on September 11, 2021 • 4 adultsWe headed out in rain and a bit of a chop, but Captain Dean made the experience awesome despite these uncontrollable conditions. He worked the lines like mad and hooked a few fish, not his fault we had troubles landing them. Dean’s tip to let the fish run and not pull too hard was significant and we managed to land a decent one. We also went for some bottom fish when it got too ugly to stay outside. Well done Dean and hope to see you again in the spring.

3/4 Day Trip on July 10, 2026 • 3 adultsOur first time fishing for salmon off Vancouver Island and it was a great experience. We caught our limit of spring and coho salmon in 1 hour. Thanks so much Graham and Matt.

Lianne Couch-laceyRepeat angler4.7Verified3/4 Day with Captain Matt
3/4 Day Trip on March 6, 2022 • 2 adultsWe spent two 3/4 days with Matt. The weather was good. The captain and first mate Bow, short for Bowline, (dog) were good company. Captain Matt is very experienced and knowledgeable and he put us on fish. We have our own boat and we do fresh and saltwater angling. We have also been on lots of charters around North America and the Caribbean. Our experience with Captain Matt was one of the best. We were comfortable with his direction and instruction - He wants you to catch fish. Listen and don’t take anything too seriously. It was a good time!
