Fishing with Jay and Bruce is more like spending a day with your buddies than being on a charter. They are great guys who love to fish. I have the feeling they would be on the water every day if they had the chance. I liked that they were up to date on watching the weather and fishing regulations to make sure we had the best trip possible. When the weather took a bad turn they changed the meeting spot so we could be out of the wind.

We met at the harbor and were out fishing within 10 minutes. The only thing that slowed down getting our lines in the water was the time it took to drop the crab pots. Within half an hour we had landed our first Chinook Salmon. We weren’t pulling in fish continually but were each able to catch some nice salmon and limited out on crab. Jay and Bruce might have been more excited that we were whenever a fish was brought up. Because of the weather, we were not able to fish for halibut, but that only gives us an excuse to come back and fish with the Rodfather again. Don’t hesitate to book with these guys, You will have a great day.

We went out with jay and Bruce for an 8 hour charter. Right from the start these brothers showed that not only did they have a well set up boat but also loved fishing. On a day when the fishing was tough and not many in the fleet were hooking up the boys got us onto some quality fish. This continued all throughout the day even when the bite slowed to a trickle the brothers continued to change tactics and gear to maximise our options.
Within minutes of the marina they managed a buzzer beater that meant we had fresh chinook for supper
Thanks Rodfather we will be back

I highly recommend booking your charter with Jay and Bruce. They are amazing fishermen and great dudes.  Their company is fantastic and we felt like we were friends instantly. Great conversation and since we are beginners they gave us a little lesson and explained how the equipment works.

We caught two kinds of salmon and got to take some home for dinner. If we return to Victoria we definitely want to try Halibut fishing with them. Book your charter with the Rodfather!!!!

Jason & Bruce are two amazing down to earth locals with a passion for fishing. They really know what they are doing and are great guys to spend time with on a charter. The gear they have on the boat is top of the line, and they were great in offering out-of-towners lessons on how to catch fish in the waters off Victoria. Highly recommend, both on a personal and professional level!
