We had the pleasure of spending a day on the water with Pat Williams of Bluefin Fishing Charters. And I can tell you, we were not disappointed with the trip. Pat was ready for a day on the water the moment we arrived. Once out on the boat Pat navigated the busy waters like the pro he is. After an amazing day on the water our total catch tally was eight (8) Spring Salmon, including a 20 pounder! All-in-all we had a phenomenal day on the water. I simply can’t say enough about how great and accommodating of a guide Pat was. We would recommend him as a guide to anyone looking to for a successful Salmon Fishing Adventure!

Many anglers will aim to target salmon and halibut during their early season charters. These halibut are hard fighters and fun to catch and you’ll be fishing for them half an hour - or a little more - after leaving the dock, using salmon, mackerel, herring and octopus to catch the big one.

It was definitely one of our most memorable fishing experiences, especially for my wife. Although the husband is quite the fisherman in his own right (fishing on the East Coast of Canada out of Ontario), he claims Pat was on another level for both knowledge and talent he had for teaching. When you take a guided salmon fishing trip with Bluefin Fishing Pat will spend the time to cover the basics with his guests.
