Catch My Drift – Ucluelet Trips
Catch My Drift invites you to experience the stunning waters of Ucluelet.
With over 20 years experience on the water, Captain Josh is able to provide knowledge few have on how to target and catch many types of fish, and what type of gear is best to use. You'll target your catch by trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Catch My Drift welcomes kids aboard, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board.
You'll be dropping lines from a 30' Aluminum Offshore XL that can carry up to 7 passengers (6 guests + Captain). We have an enclosed cabin with charge seating, charge ports for your devices, a private bathroom and ample deck space to enjoy the views.
Rods, reels, downriggers and tackle are included, along with lures. We use some of the best in the industry thanks to our branded partnerships with some amazing companies.
Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, we can provide links to the proper license and where to buy. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
A few items to bring include sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water. Don't forget to bring snacks to keep up those energy levels!
Bring your own beers to enjoy while we're anchored. Please avoid use of glass bottles.

Erin Hames5.0VerifiedAwesome day of fishing.
5 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on July 16, 2026 • 2 adultsCan’t say enough about Captain Josh and the Catch My Drift. Boat was clean and had everything we needed. Cap. Josh had us out on the fish super quick and before we knew it fish were filling the boat. We limited out on Halibut and Springs before heading in and left with bags full of beautiful filets. If you are looking for an awesome day on the water you can’t go wrong booking with Catch My Drift!!

Mike Fowler5.0Two day fishing extravaganza with Captain Josh
on June 13, 2025Had a great trip fishing with Josh. He is truly a master of his craft, and will make people of all ages feel comfortable and confident fishing on his boat. The boat itself is comfortable and accommodating, and if you play the right music at the right time it will be FISH ON!! We made a tobacco offering and played Metallica on both days and my arms were sore from reeling in the chicken of the sea non stop. Catch My Drift with captain Josh should be anyones go to if they are looking to create unforgettable memories on the water in beautiful Ucluelet.
Levi NashRepeat angler5.0VerifiedDon’t hesitate, you want to go fishing with this guy
5 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on July 14, 2025 • 6 adultsCaptain Josh is an absolute gentleman and a true blue west coast fisherman. Our large group had quite a few first time fishermen and he was more than accommodating and passionate about making our experience top notch. I will definitely be booking with him again and can’t wait to spend more time aboard his immaculately maintained boat.

5 Hour Trip – Salmon on June 16, 2026 • 4 adultsJosh was awesome. Very experienced and personable. Great boat and gear. Was a cold and windy morning, and his enclosed cabin was nice and warm. We land lots of chinook, coho and some super tasty rockfish. Would 100% recommend Josh to anyone.
Julia H5.0Unforgettable Day with Catch My Drift
10 Hour Trip – Salmon on June 25, 2025If you’re looking for a killer fishing trip in Ucluelet, Catch My Drift is the way to go. Captain Josh is a pro – super knowledgeable, passionate about fishing, and makes the whole experience a blast. He knows these waters inside and out, and you can tell he loves what he does. Josh made sure we were all set on the safety side of things, but once that was covered, it was all fun and fishing. The guy’s got a great sense of humour, and we were laughing the entire day. Plus, the music was on point – Josh played great tunes and even let us throw on our own playlists. The fishing was awesome. Josh helped us out when we were struggling with the bigger fish and made sure we were doing everything right to land them. The day flew by, and we didn’t want it to end. If you’re in Ucluelet, don’t miss out on Catch My Drift. Josh is the man, and I’ll definitely be back for round two.
