Our charters depart from Masset and travel roughly 30 minutes to the fishing grounds. Chinook (King) Salmon and Halibut will be our primary targets during our day on the water, as well as Coho when they are in season.
"we had a great day. Jonah was an excellent guide, friendly, very professional we caught lots of fish." — Jerry,
Masset, Haida Gwaii, stands as a premier fishing destination in British Columbia, Canada, offering unparalleled saltwater angling experiences. Nestled within the rich waters of the North Pacific, this remote region is globally renowned for its abundant Chinook Salmon (King Salmon) and Pacific Halibut. Anglers consistently target trophy-sized Chinook, with local records exceeding 75 pounds, while halibut frequently surpass 100 pounds, delivering thrilling deep-water battles.
The prime fishing season stretches from May through September, coinciding with peak salmon migrations and optimal halibut activity. Fishing charters operate from Masset Harbour, Naden Harbour, and nearby Langara Island, providing access to sheltered inlets and productive open ocean grounds. Beyond the flagship species, charters also yield consistent action from Coho Salmon, Lingcod, and various Rockfish, ensuring diverse opportunities year-round.
Professional local guides leverage decades of expertise to navigate these nutrient-dense waters, where strong ocean currents concentrate baitfish and attract massive predators. Charters utilize well-equipped vessels suited for both inshore and offshore conditions, with many offering on-board fish preparation and partnerships with local processors for vacuum-packing, flash-freezing, and shipping your catch home.
Masset's raw coastal beauty—think old-growth rainforests, breaching whales, and bald eagles—creates a breathtaking backdrop for fishing adventures. Combined with the Haida Nation's rich cultural heritage and accessible logistics via flights to Masset Airport, this destination delivers a world-class angling experience that consistently ranks among the globe's finest.
