PRINCE RUPERT FISHING CHARTERS
BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
Hecate Strait Fishing in Prince Rupert is an incredible salmon and halibut fishing excursion. Whether it’s an easy reel–in with a ling cod, rock fish or snapper, or the class B.C. knuckle-busting King Chinook salmon. We have all the gear you need to land the big one and have a fishing experience you’ll be talking about for years to come.
Our professional crew can cater to the most seasoned fishermen’s expectations. We also provide instruction and assist first–time ocean fishing tourists in every situation. Once in the net, our crew will dress and bag your catch and then place them in our onboard coolers where they will remain fresh until your return to Prince Rupert.
When you step aboard our 26-foot Sea Swirl Striper, you will feel right at home with all the above and below-deck features of a modern fishing vessel. With plenty of room for five people to move about or sit leisurely, the rear deck of can easily convert from comfy to capable when the big fish start biting. A modest kitchen, bathroom and sleeping quarter below deck provide the facilities you want when spending a full day at sea, and plenty of room to store your personal belongings and supplies.
Leaving the dock at Rushbrooke Floats, located next door to Canada’s largest fish processing plant, you will be captivated by the beautiful and unique surroundings found only along British Columbia’s North Coast. Warm drinks will start the day along with dropping crab traps just outside Prince Rupert harbour. We then cruise to some of the most treasured fishing spots in the country, where the world’s finest wild salmon stocks can be found nearly year round. Whether coho or Chinook, you will surely be in for the experience of a lifetime as you fight these amazing fish to the surface and hopefully land your daily limit.
With a boat full of salmon we’ll then proceed to one of our secret fishing holes known for the numbers of large Pacific halibut, ranging anywhere from 8 to 300 pounds. In addition to the once in a lifetime fishing, our guests are usually also treated to free wildlife viewing, with bald eagles, black bears, orca and humpback whales all in abundance during the spring and summer months. At the end of our fishing excursion, your entire catch will be cleaned and filleted by the Hecate Strait staff dockside. Further processing facilities for your fish can be found just around the corner at Dolly’s Fish Market, which offers customized smoking, packaging and shipping of all your fish.
