About our Prince Rupert Fishing Charters
Arriving at the dock early, you will find your guide waiting with fresh coffee, engines running, and all your gear ready to start
your day on the water. Your professional salt water fishing guide will take you out of the sheltered harbour and into a pristine
wilderness world filled with fishing hotspots. As you venture out into Chatham Sound, humpback whales are commonly spotted doing
some fishing of their own and your captain will point out any sightings. Once you arrive at your first fishing destination, your
guide will jump into action gearing up for your first catch. His level of involvement will vary depending on your salt water
fishing experience, and we can equally cater to the most novice or skilled clients. You will enjoy the comforts of trolling
around on our new Boston Whaler 255 Conquest, complete with new equipment, and it usually only takes minutes from setup for
your rod to dip. As you grab your rod from the holder and watch 100 feet of line peel off your reel, it hits you like a truck
that salmon fishing is a very exciting sport. Reeling in your first catch, you have just started your sport fishing experience
