We fish Vancouver Island, B.C.! Enjoy Salmon & Halibut fishing charters in beautiful British Columbia Canada! We invite you to join us on a professionally guided salmon & Halibut fishing charter with Last Cast Guiding, located in Port Alberni on Vancouver Island British Columbia. We offer guided fishing charters to West Coast Vancouver Island BC salmon fishing locations such as Port Alberni, Bamfield, and Barkley Sound. We can customize your fishing trip. If you are looking to do some salmon fishing in Port Alberni BC, we are your choice for salmon fishing charters. Here's why you should consider booking your charter with us:
(Please purchase your fishing license prior to your trip) Our charter vessel named “Last Cast” is a 2003, Grady White 265 Express. She is equipped with a comfortable cuddy cabin and stand up head (washroom with flush toilet), for your comfort. This is a heavy off shore fishing machine with twin new 225 Suzuki 4 stroke power, and a large comfortable deck and seating. Our vessel is without question the best equipped Charter Boat in Port Alberni and Bamfield. We service Port Alberni Canal, Bamfield, Ucluelet, Barkley Sound and the Broken Islands. Why fish with other fishing charter operators who have small uncomfortable boats and lower quality tackle, when you can fish the best. We only use quality fishing tackle. We are pro-guides for Normark and their many brands featuring Rapala, Luhr-Jensen, Blue Fox, Storm, Sufix Line, Trigger, Plano, and Gamakatsu Hooks. We run both full and half day guided salmon fishing charters in the Alberni Canal. Charters to the Bamfield, Ucluelet and Barkley Sound areas are within an easy one hour run from our home marina in Port Alberni. Our interest is in seeing you catch fish, and if fishing is slow we will extend your day or 1/2 day trip at no extra cost. Depending upon your interests, we can either target calm inlet fishing for maximum comfort or offshore salmon and halibut fishing for even the most hard core fisher. Fish can be cleaned and packaged for transport anywhere in the world through our partnership with "The Smokery", Whiskey Creek, Vancouver Island BC. Fishing Charter Packages Economy Trips (motel, plus top quality fishing) starting from $225 per person for 4 - 6 hours fishing in the Alberni Canal. Deluxe Trips for a full day fishing and top quality lodge accommodation starting from $392 per person. See our packages web page for details. Port Alberni - Vancouver Island, B.C. June 15 to July 31 Sockeye Salmon enter the Alberni Canal on their way to the Stamp/Somas River. Sockeye are the most tasty of all salmon, and are highly prized. Sockeye can be finicky fish, and can at times be challenging for anglers to entice to bite, so it helps to hire a knowledgeable guide. Fortunately we have developed techniques for enticing Sockeye to bite. August 10 to September 20 Chinook Salmon enter the Alberni Canal just minutes from our marina in Port Alberni. Trophy King salmon (Chinook) offer anglers a unique fishery for these large monsters, with the peak of the run returning near the Labour Day Long Weekend – just in time for the famous Port Alberni Salmon Festival and Derby which runs the entire long weekend. Coho Salmon enter the Alberni Canal in late August, September and early October. Our guided Salmon Fishing Charter rates are based on either ½ day (5 hours) or full day (8 hours) trips. For halibut & salmon fishing trips to the Bamfield and Ucluelet areas we will charge the full day rate. Our Charter Rates are based on a day rate that covers the cost of boat, guide, fuel, tackle and bait. Please note that our trips count fishing time not running time. Unlike some operators, our interest is in maximizing your fishing trip so the charter rates track actual fishing time and do not include travel time. Bamfield - Offshore Halibut/Chinook/Coho Charters: You can enjoy salmon and halibut fishing Bamfield without the 1.5 hour drive on a rough and dangerous gravel road. We can get you to the fishing in Bamfield comfortably by boat in 1 hour from Port Alberni. The trip down the Alberni Canal is scenic, adding to your adventure. We run out to Big Bank and return to Port Alberni in the same trip but our 2 day offshore packages overnight in Bamfield. Let us build a package that fits your budget. We offer accommodation and fishing charter packages from Bamfield, with passenger pick up and drop off via boat in Port Alberni for your convenience. All inclusive packages (food, fishing, lodging) starting as low as $412 per person, per day based on 4 anglers. General Charter Offerings: Please call or e-mail for in-season rate quotes. Rates will vary depending upon cost of fuel in-season. Book early for best rates and availability - Prices include all taxes - including HST!!
Bamfield & Ucluelet, Vancouver Island, B.C. Canada May – August we offer salmon and halibut trips. Offshore trips for halibut are best timed to take place in June and July. We offer convenient service by boat to Bamfield, which is one hour by boat from Port Alberni - saving you the 1.5 hour drive over difficult gravel road. We can arrange overnight accommodation in Bamfield for off shore fishing trips over 2 or more days. As Chinook (Kings) move closer to the Alberni Canal in July and August, we begin targeting the Barkley Sound area and Broken Islands. This area can be an exciting place to view wildlife such as Whales, Sea Lions and Eagles to round off your fishing adventure. The Broken Islands offer the true West Coast BC wildlife tour & salmon fishing experience in relatively calm protection from the offshore swells. 2010 Fishing Reports We are off the a great start. There are plenty of nice Chinook both in Barkley Sound and over off Nanaimo. For more info please e-mail us at: pat.ahern@shaw.ca Salmon Outlook for 2010, West Coast Vancouver Island, B.C. Canada Projections for west coast Vancouver Island Chinook (King Salmon) are for similar run abundance as compared to the 2009 season which was an average season. Catch limits are 2 chinook per day with a total possession limit of 4 per angler. There were a large number of 3 year old Columbia River Chinook/Kings caught in the 2008/09 season which will translate to strong off shore Chinook fishery in Mid June to July from Bamfield. There are 479,000 early run Columbia Chinook forecast to return in 2010 making this the third highest return on record.. and 1.2 million coho!! Coho (Silvers) are expected to be normal run strength, with the catch limits ranging from 2 to 4 per day depending upon which area you are fishing. Starting Aug 1 there will be up to 4 coho retention in certain areas of Barkley Sound and the Alberni canal. Sockeye salmon are OPEN starting June 15 with a 2 fish per day limit..
