Stock photo — placeholder Prince Rupert, BC · Chatham Sound
Year-round salmon, in-season halibut and Dungeness crab on the Chatham Sound — with bait and gear supplied, and an owner-operator who has spent years on this water.
The Chatham Sound
Prince Rupert sits on some of the best fishing on the whole North Coast. From the harbour it’s minutes to the Chatham Sound — sheltered, fish-rich water framed by forested islands and fog banks that burn off into glass-calm mornings.
Whether you’ve never fished before or you plan your whole trip around it, Pacific Blue keeps it simple: step aboard, lines down, and let the water do the rest. We’ll catch some great fish, see some beautiful sights, and make some memories.
Stock photo — placeholder Trips & species
Stock photo — placeholder Salmon is the mainstay at Pacific Blue — and unlike most of the coast, the fishing here runs year-round. Whether it’s your first time holding a rod or your fiftieth season, Al will put you on fish and show you the water.
Stock photo — placeholder When halibut season opens, the gear goes deep. Flat fish, heavy pulls, and some of the best eating the North Coast has to offer — ask about timing when you call to book.
Stock photo — placeholder While you fish, the crab pots soak. Al drops them on the way out, pulls them on the way in — and if the Sound cooperates, you head home with delicious Dungeness crab on top of your catch.
Stock photo — not their boat Boat & skipper
Charters run aboard a KingFisher 2025 Falcon — a welded-aluminum boat built in BC for exactly this kind of water. Solid, seaworthy and quick to the grounds.
Your skipper is Al, the owner and operator, with years of experience fishing and crabbing these waters. When you book with Pacific Blue, you fish with Al — not a rotating crew. Rest assured you’ll be in good hands out there.
