Whether you are a family on vacation looking to get out on the water to experience salmon fishing for the first time or a group of seasoned anglers needing to scratch that itch ALWAYS BE FISHING CHARTERS has got you covered with the right salmon charter to ensure a great day on the water.

Everyone and all experience levels are always welcome.

4.5 HOUR CHARTER $750

On these trips we get our gear in the water and start fishing 5 minutes from the dock to hit some of our local hot spots in Howe Sound or along the beaches of Gibsons and Roberts Creek. Here in Gibsons we are very fortunate to be able to experience year round salmon fishing just minutes from Gibsons Marina, so it’s all fun with no run on these trips. Crab traps are always pulled on the way home.

7.5 HOUR CHARTER $1100

Experienced anglers know that some days enough is never enough when it comes to salmon fishing. These longer trips enable us to fish multiple spots in a day, often going further out into the Georgia Straight or deeper into Howe Sound depending on the season and where the best reports are coming from, and they give us time to fish through multiple tide changes before picking up the crab traps and heading back to the dock.

Custom Charters are always available. It’s your trip, get it how you want it.
