Ready to get your line wet in some of the richest fishing grounds British Columbia has to offer? Captain Brian Lebrun's 3-day charter trip is your ticket to world-class angling action. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this trip delivers the goods with prime fishing spots, expert guidance, and scenery that'll knock your socks off. Pack your gear and let's hit the water for a long weekend you won't soon forget!
Over three action-packed days, you'll be cruising the pristine waters of BC with Captain Brian, a local legend who knows these fishing grounds like the back of his hand. We're talking early mornings with coffee in hand, watching the mist rise off the water as you drop your first line of the day. You'll hit multiple hotspots, targeting whatever's biting best. And when you're not reeling 'em in, you'll be soaking up views that'll make your Instagram followers green with envy. Just a heads up - meals aren't included, so you can either pack a cooler or we can point you towards some killer local spots to grab a bite between catches.
Captain Brian's got all the gear and know-how to put you on fish. We're talking top-of-the-line rods, reels, and tackle suited for whatever we're chasing that day. Depending on conditions and what's running, we might be trolling with downriggers for salmon, jigging for halibut, or casting for rockfish near kelp beds. The captain's always got a few tricks up his sleeve, whether it's using cut plug herring for coho or finding that perfect depth for lingcod. And don't worry if you're new to this - Brian's patient teaching style will have you feeling like a pro in no time.
British Columbia's waters are teeming with prized gamefish, and on this trip, you've got a shot at some real beauties. Chinook (King) salmon are the heavyweight champs, known for their powerful runs and delicious meat. These bad boys can top 30 pounds and put up a fight that'll test your arms and your drag. Spring and summer are prime time for kings, but they can be caught year-round if you know where to look.
Coho (Silver) salmon are another local favorite. They're a bit smaller than kings, usually in the 8-12 pound range, but what they lack in size they make up for in acrobatics. These fish love to jump and make blistering runs that'll have your reel singing. Fall is the peak season for silvers, but late summer can be red hot too.
Halibut are the gentle giants of the deep. These flatfish can grow to enormous sizes - we're talking hundreds of pounds - though most keeper-sized fish are in the 30-100 pound range. Jigging for halibut is a workout, but the reward is some of the best-tasting fish you'll ever put on your plate. They're available year-round, with peak season typically from May to September.
And let's not forget about lingcod and various rockfish species. These bottom-dwellers are aggressive feeders and put up a great fight on lighter tackle. They're also excellent eating, with firm white flesh that's perfect for fish tacos or a classic fish fry. You can target these guys pretty much any time of year, making them a reliable backup when other species are being finicky.
Look, there's a reason Captain Brian's trips book up fast. It's not just about the fish (though there are plenty of those). It's about the whole package. Picture yourself out on the open water, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and lush forests. Eagles soaring overhead, maybe even a pod of orcas cruising by. Then there's the thrill of the hunt - working with the captain to find the fish, feeling that first tug on the line, and the rush of adrenaline as you battle a big one to the boat. And at the end of the day, you've got stories to tell and maybe even some fresh fillets to take home. It's the kind of experience that keeps people coming back year after year.
If you're itching to feel the bend in your rod and the salt spray on your face, Captain Brian's 3-day charter is calling your name. With room for up to 4 anglers, it's perfect for a group of buddies or a family looking to make some memories on the water. Just remember to pack some grub (or budget for some local eats), and get ready for three days of non-stop fishing action in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Spots fill up fast, especially during peak seasons, so don't wait to lock in your dates.
