Ucluelet Crab Fishing Charters

This 6 hour is our recommendation for winter fishing trips (Nov- Feb). Drop the crab traps before Embarking on an hour long cruise across to the protected waters of Barkley Sound. Journey down amongst The Broken Group Islands to the sheltered winter fishing grounds from Sechart Channel to Swale Rock. Set the Prawn traps and drop the lines for Chinook (King) Salmon. End the day by pulling the Prawn and Crab traps before we're harbour bound. *Start time flexible. License, gratuity, 5% GST not inc*

This afternoon trip is an inshore fishing experience along the coastline, inner banks or Barkley Sound just a short trip outside of Ucluelet. Enjoy the coastal waters of Vancouver Island near Pacific Rim National Park & Reserve, and experience the best in west coast Salmon fishing and sightseeing!

The duration of these trips is 8–10 hours. They allow you to travel where the fish are, whether it be inshore or offshore. Usually, you'll have the time to target both Salmon and Halibut, as well as bottom fish.

It doesn't offer plenty of time to do the most we can, but in the past, we have been able to tub out on Salmon, Rockfish, and Lingcod in 4 hours for 2-3 people. We'll stay inshore and close, so we can do all the fishing we can within that time frame. We can target everything during this time or specific species, depending on what you want.

A quick trip out on the water where you and the crew can fish, crab, and check out local wildlife. Departure times may vary, so make sure to check with Captain Jon for details. The trip price covers all your fishing rods, reels, tackle, and lures.

Our full-day fishing trips leave at first light from the Small Crafts Harbour in Ucluelet, BC. This trip includes everything you need to have a fun and safe experience on the water. Our chosen fishing destination for the day will be determined by the weather, time of season, and our targeted fish species. (Max 4 people. 5am-6:30am departures)

Spend a morning plying The Pacific Rim's inshore waters or middle banks. Depending on conditions, timing, expected productivity, and group preference, this trip offers options: Fish along the coastline and amongst the islands for Salmon, Ling, and Rockfish, or troll the inner banks targeting Chinook and a chance at Halibut. This charter allows you to travel further when beneficial and spends significantly more time fishing than on the 4-hour trip. *license, gratuity, 5% tax not included*
