My wife (who never fishes) and I went with Rollie on Oct. 2, a cold and occasionally misty day. I think we caught 10-12 total, had to release some because we had our limit of wild coho, lost a handful more due to operator error, mine, not Rollie’s. He was a great conversationalist beginning to end. I fish a lot and I read an earlier post about him hooking and reeling part of the way in. That was not our experience, he hooked them but then the pole immediately went to one of us to fight the fish in. the light tackle was great and the fact we are using barbless hooks made it a challenge to stay hooked up.
I highly recommend Rollie and would gladly go back for a trip with him.

I recently went on a fishing charter with my brother and our two young boys, it was an amazing experience! Rollie was knowledgeable and made sure we were safe at all times. We caught a variety of Salmon, he took us to some secret spots that he knew would yield a good catch. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the equipment was top-notch. Overall, I highly recommend Sooke Salmon Charters to anyone looking for a fun and successful day out on the water.

This was a great family adventure! Rollie’s runs a tight ship! His years of experience and knowledge of the local fishing spots gave us an experience we’ll cherish for life! We all managed to catch and release some huge Chinook salmon, largest estimated to be around 38lb, my sons both caught big fish all above 20lb. We also caught over 30lb Pink and Coho salmon and 8 large Dungeons crabs which went home.

Had a fantastic time with Capt Rollie. The fish were hard to find, but we managed to get a nice one in the end. Highly recommended!
