My boyfriend and I had the best time out with Skipper John and Hostess Myrna! We went out for a half day looking to catch some salmon and we're lucky enough to catch both (although we know this is a total anomaly). John and Myra were super friendly, helpful letting us know what tickets to get and where to show up, and definitely kept us entertained with their jokes. Bring your sense of humour and a realistic idea of what to catch and you will have the best time with this duo. But whatever you do DO NOT BRING. BANANA ABOARD! This is no joke ;) google it
I had a great time fishing with John .We landed 2 , 40 lb halibut . John definitely knows his business. Also a credit to Mryna , she,s a great hostess . Thanks John and Myrna . Will see you next year for sure .
Fishing trip was great, previous review seemed to mention lack of facilities suitable for women, but my experience was such that when the need arose, like all good mate's, their back was turned. Had a wonderful time, caught a spring and hooked a Hali, but with out the skipper helping me snag it, would have lost it. We would go again for sure, and have booked ahead for next year!
I know catching fish requires some luck; I have fished enough to understand sometimes the fish win.
Eight hours and nothing, the captain didn't even bite when I asked about cod, snapper, or other bottom reef fish.
I hope you like cigarette smoke because you will be guaranteed to get your fill. Did not even ask if we minded. (4 non-smokers to 1)
The boat is old and tired as well. To add insult to injury we left our fishing licenses on the boat. Maybe he can mail them back to us.
It was a nice boat ride on the Coast of British Columbia.
Had to wait awhile to respond...Funny... fish that was on, didn't reach the boat..
as I understand you fished for years...!!
Halibut...Hit, But didn't hook...?
Salmon.. (Chinook) Hit...Run with the LINE.. For some reason Lost...???
As for SMOKING...No one said a word.. smoking a cig an hr. makes me a chain smoker
The boat as you see in the Pic. is a 21 ft. Grady - White with a 2014\ 200 hp. Suzuki
4 stroke Motor
Oh yes.... Hope The Crabs were eatable...?
As for the Fishing Licenses ... you had them 3 days Later...
Didn't Know I was hired for BABY-SITTING...!!!!
Skipper-John
Had great time. Great guide,great fishing,great times. Lots of whales. 40 lb halibut was a scraper among all the other fish we caught. Good times.
John was a great guy but delivered no fish. Boat was too small for 5 people on board to fish. The toilet situation is not suited for women ( porta potty right out in the open) If you are allergic or hate the smell of cigarette smoke this is not the charter for you. Captain John is a chain smoker. Pretty much it was a $1000 all day boat ride.
