Fishing Charters
Sockeye Madness
Dawn limits on the Alberni Inlet run
Every summer, millions of sockeye stack up in the Alberni Inlet on their way to the Somass — and for a few glorious weeks the fishing is simply madness. Multiple rods buckled at once, limits by breakfast, and the fleet trolling within sight of town. We leave the dock at 5 AM sharp to hit the morning flurry, run minutes — not hours — to the fish, and work the tacks until the coolers are heavy. It's the perfect charter for families, first-timers and anyone who wants maximum action in minimum time. Your catch is cleaned, bagged and iced before you step off the boat.
