Good Time Dave's Fishing Charters
A West Coast salmon and halibut charter in BC with near-perfect reviews for Captain Dave's local knowledge, easy-going personality and frequent whale sightings.
What visitors say
Good Time Dave's Fishing Charters takes anglers out on the saltwater off BC's coast for salmon and halibut, with crab also mentioned. Reviewers describe snow-capped mountains in the background and whales on the water, with several groups seeing orcas and humpbacks during their trip.
Captain Dave is the main draw. Guests call him knowledgeable, professional and good company, and a couple who have fished with guides around the world ranked him among the best. Reviewers say he knows where and when to go for the fish you're after, and people report catching halibut soon after dropping lines and 20 lb salmon. One group mentions he handled rough water with a steady hand.
Several reviews point to service beyond the fishing. One group without a rental car got an early-morning pickup from their vacation rental, and visitors from Florida followed his advice on getting their catch processed in Victoria and shipped home. Booking through Facebook is described as easy.
A couple of low ratings appear in the breakdown without written detail. Expect early starts, since at least one trip left before 4 a.m., and confirm the meeting point, since the listing doesn't give a town.
