A Prince Rupert fishing charter with a perfect five-star record, known for halibut, lingcod and salmon limits, a Rupert-raised guide who is great with beginners, and frequent whale and dolphin sightings.
Aurora Coast Adventures is a small saltwater fishing charter in Prince Rupert on BC's north coast, and every one of its reviews is five stars. Nearly all of them credit the same guide, who grew up in Prince Rupert and, according to visitors, knows exactly where to go and what to use.
Anglers describe busy days: lingcod on the first drop, halibut limits early in the trip, then a move to salmon. One group caught six salmon and a halibut in a day, and several people say they went home with enough fish for many meals. Guests also note he adjusts plans for weather and conditions, and a few mention fair pricing. One party said he got them out the next day after another charter cancelled on them.
It's a strong pick for first-timers and families. Several reviewers had never fished the open ocean and say they were landing big fish within hours, and partners and kids new to fishing got extra coaching. Wildlife is a regular bonus, with whales, dolphins, seals and sea lions reported, and one couple said the guide took them whale watching while he cleaned their catch.
There's little to caution about. As always on the north coast, the day depends on weather, and a couple of guests note slow stretches before the bite picked up. Several are repeat customers, so booking ahead in summer is sensible.
