Ucluelet, BC, Canada

If you’re looking to explore the bountiful waters of Ucluelet, Canada, you can’t go wrong with Mark’s Reel Fishing Adventures. In the indigenous language, Ucluelet means “people of the safe harbor,” and safety is one of the main priorities for Captain Mark Durante, along with putting his clients on fish and showing them all the natural beauties the area has to offer.

He has over 30 years of fishing experience and will teach you all the do’s and don’ts for landing that fish of your dreams. Mark will also show you the best fishing and scenic spots, and answer all the questions you might have about the area and fishing. He has a lot of returning customers, but he always likes meeting new people from all over the world, so that’s why he decided to list on FishingBooker in February 2019.

Mark invites anglers from everywhere to spend the day aboard the “Easy Days,” his 29’ offshore sportfishing boat. It features a full restroom, comfortable seating, and a kitchen with a fridge. The boat also has the latest marine electronics and safety gear.

Powered by twin 300 HP Yamaha main engines, it also has twin 9.9 HP high thrust kickers on either side of the main engines that are used when slow trolling with the bait in the water. The vessel can take up to 6 passengers – 4 adults and 2 kids who are 4 years and older, to be precise. If your party has more than 4 adults, it’s possible to make arrangements if you contact the captain before the trip.

He always tries to meet his clients’ demands, so he asks them what they want to do and gives recommendations based on that. Depending on your preferences, you’ll get to focus on Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, and Rockfish. You’ll be going up to 25–30 miles offshore, trolling with 2 lines in the water or spinning with spoons for Coho.

Mark’s Reel Fishing Adventures will provide all the fishing gear and bait. You should bring layered clothing, rain gear, lunch and drinks, and a camera.

** 5% GST tax not included in price.

Great Day on the Water, Caught Limits
10 Hour Trip - 4 People Max on August 20, 20251 adult
Captain Mark did a great job. Inspite of the fishing in the area being tight lipped, he figured out the correct lure that they were biting on. Had a limit within a few hours of nice Chinook Salmon. Since it was a 10 hour day, and I wanted to get some halibut, he came out with a chart of the good halibut holes to fish, and discussed which one would most likely produce. He put in the good work of changing the bait regularily, to keep it fresh and tasty for the halibut. Within a few hours, the halibut came in. Got limits of some dandy halibut! Mark has great knowledge of the fishery, he will put the effort in as well so you can catch the most fish as possible. He seemed very happy to get me onto my first halibut too. I would recommend this charter.

Half Day Trip (PM) on July 6, 20222 adults
What a day! Luck was on our side or was it the hard working captain? A gloomy day turned to sunny skies and the ocean was glass. Mark took the time to try different t spots and depths to ensure we found the fish….AND WE DID!!! After limiting out on chinooks, Mark promptly reeled in and travelled to a new spot targeting coho, and it 💯 paid off. He was genuinely a very helpful, caring guide and I would suggest to anyone looking for a wicked experience in ucluelet to get touch! Thanks again Mark!

HALF DAY TRIP WITH CAPTAIN MARK.
Half Day Trip (PM) on August 2, 20212 adults
My wife and I really enjoyed our half day out with Captain Mark. We later wished it was a full day, including some halibut fishing. Captain Mark is a very personable, friendly, knowledgable, and experienced guide and I don't think there is a captain who knows more about the area. He is just a pleasure to be with and can adapt to any party that has booked a charter. We caught 6 salmon that morning, 3+3 chinook and coho. A great half day out and we will happily book another trip with this captain. THANK YOU SO MUCH CAPTAIN MARK, see you again soon-- PS- the fish made it home safely.
