ABOUT MYSELF

Myself, I have been fishing, passionately my whole life. I began at a young age fishing with a worm on a hook for smallmouth bass in Ontario, before moving to BC as a child, and learning about salmon fishing. Since I was old enough to paddle, I have been fishing for salmon.

I have seriously fished off Vancouver Island ever since. I began learning in the Saanich Inlet, nicknamed 'the Dead Sea' throughout the late 90s. Ironically, this ensured I had all my gear running perfectly, so as to have every chance I could in catching a salmon. Very few salmon are landed in the inlet throughout the summer. My first big spring that I caught, running my own little 12' boat, by myself, was a 26lber off Separation Point, not far from Cowichan Bay; it was the first of many!

Since then, I began fishing off Sooke, and I have guided many friends and family, and did guide professionally for two years. My experience has been mostly off Sooke, Saanich Inlet and Port Renfrew. However recently I have made a couple trips out to Clayoquot Sound and Tofino, the Alberni Inlet and the Campbell River area. I also spent a couple summers fishing the waters off Vancouver itself.

Except for guiding off larger sized boats, I fish out of a simple, open 16', 60hp boat. Nothing too fancy. I hope to keep exploring what Vancouver Island, and the BC coast, have to offer for salmon fishing!
