Prince Rupert Charters Northern BC Ocean Salmon Fishing
Frohlich’s Prince Rupert Fishing Guide specializes in full day ocean fishing charters in Chatham Sound and the North Coast area. Most guests prefer fishing for salmon and halibut, but increasing numbers have discovered the challenge and fun in landing other tasty species such as halibut and cod. Because Prince Rupert‘s North Coast is a rich feeding ground, and is on the migratory route of returning salmon, many guests target trophy salmon.
Your day on the water with Prince Rupert Fishing
Your day fishing with Prince Rupert Fishing Charters in “the Great White” starts out at times between 4am and 7am depending on conditions or an agreed
time of departure. We will meet at the docks as instructed and once aboard the boat head out of Prince Rupert
harbour and drop the crab traps off for a treat at the end of the day. Then we are on our way to the fishing
grounds anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour away. Upon arrival at the fishing hot spots we will start our fishing for
salmon, halibut or rockfish in preference and conditions permitting. While on your fishing trip you will be
pleasantly surprised on a good day that limiting out happens often on my fishing charters. Towards the end of
your great day fishing and once you have your catch of the day I will clean and bag your fish onboard the Great
White or at a cleaning table back in Prince Rupert. On our way back from fishing we will stop to pick up the crab traps
and after a quick stop at the marine station for refuelling you will be dropped off at the same dock we left
in the morning. From there we will take your bagged catch at your request to either Dollies fish market, my
freezer storage or fresh on ice as preferred. Once back at my private freezer shed I will clean and cook
your crab and you can try a mouth watering freshly cooked crab right out of the cooker with a cold beer or
beverage. We can relax and talk about the great day on the water and make plans for the next fishing trip out. If
this is the kind of experience you are looking for in a fishing vacation I am just a phone call or e-mail
away to make it happen. I am confident that after you have been treated to a quality fishing charter with
me you will become one of my many fishing Guests. 90% of my business is from repeat guests.
