My son and I booked with Minnesota Charters for a day trip off the coast of Ucluelet. The trip exceeded our expectations. The trip was one of the most affordable on the booking site but we couldn’t have had a better experience no matter what we paid. We both limited out on Chinook and Rockfish, saw some gorgeous coastal waterways, wildlfe and landscapes and enjoyed every minute of time on the water with Captain Brandon. We have been on many charter fishing trips in varying locations but had the best experience we have ever had fishing with Brandon. Highly highly recommend booking with Minnesota Charters.

Our family recently took a fishing charter with Captain Brandon of Minnesota Charters, and it was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. We’re a family of four with two young sons, and Brandon made sure it was an unforgettable day for all of us.
He took us to some amazing spots, and we were thrilled to catch some beautiful and unique fish. What truly set this trip apart was Captain Brandon’s incredible knowledge of fishing, the local waters, and marine life. He was patient and great with our boys, teaching them the right techniques while also sharing fascinating facts about the ocean.
We also deeply appreciated his commitment to conservation and respect for nature. It was clear he takes great pride in protecting the environment and ensuring responsible fishing practices. It felt good knowing we were in the hands of someone who genuinely cares about the ocean.
If you’re looking for an amazing, educational, and fun fishing charter in Ucluelet, we can’t recommend Captain Brandon and Minnesota Charters enough. It was the highlight of our vacation and a memory our family, especially our sons, will cherish forever.

We had an amazing experience with Brandon. It was truly a day to remember. From the moment we set out, it was clear we were in expert hands. Not only was he knowledgeable about the best spots and local conditions, but he also made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and memorable.

The gear provided was top-notch, and his patience with both beginners and seasoned anglers was impressive. We appreciated the mix of practical tips and great conversation—not to mention we caught some fantastic fish and limited out!

If you’re looking for someone who knows the waters, brings great energy, and genuinely cares about making your trip special, look no further. I’ll definitely be booking another trip with Minnesota charters.

My girlfriend and I booked a charter with Capt. Brandon for mid Sept. The winter rains had started a couple of days prior so conditions were against us for our target species (Chinook & Coho Salmon). However, Capt. Brandon was extremely knowledgeable and able to get us a late season coho, all while accommodating our poor sea legs in some more sheltered spots. We also got amongst plenty of rock fish and lingcod which kept us busy.

The captain himself is a top guy and great to spend time with so we can’t recommend this charter enough!

I am an experienced ocean fisherman and I really appreciated that Brandon tailored the trip to match my skill level. We got out to an area that had few boats and had a hot chinook bite, got our cohos, and got a bonus halibut.  Brandon was fun to chat with and is obviously a very knowledgeable fisherman.  Very enjoyable time!!
