Hot Pursuit Charters
A West Coast salmon and halibut charter out of Ucluelet, BC, praised for limits of fish, well-equipped boats and guides who produce even in rough weather.
What visitors say
Hot Pursuit Charters fishes the open Pacific out of Ucluelet on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Nearly every review is five stars, and most guests went home with their limits of salmon and, on some trips, halibut.
Guests name guides Darren and Chris, describing both as knowledgeable, professional and good company. One full-day group left with 65 lb of salmon, and another reached its salmon limit with time to spare. Boats are described as spotless and packed with modern equipment, and the gear as top notch. On a wet, lumpy day with strong westerlies, one group said the guide still had them into fish right away.
The office side gets credit too. One late booking in peak season came with suggestions on where to stay. Families with kids have enjoyed half-day trips, though one parent wished they had booked the full day.
There's almost nothing negative in the reviews. West Coast weather can be rough, so bring rain gear and anything you need for seasickness.
