Possible Departure Points
Poett Nook
Poett Nook is one of our favourite departure points for our Overnight Fishing Charters, as well as being one of the best Vancouver Island fishing grounds in any weather. This area of Barkley Sound is on the edge of sheltered waters with deep sea fishing opportunities, but without the danger of trip cancellations due to rough seas. Every year, derby-winning fish come from the shelves around Poett Nook. Salmon are plentiful here and our average halibut catch is 47.6 lb.
China Creek
China Creek is an ideal place to begin your journey into Barkley Sound and the wild West Coast of Vancouver Island. A short drive down a logging road from downtown Port Alberni, China Creek offers a beautiful Marina and world class fishing opportunities in sheltered waters.
Bamfield
Bamfield is another excellent place to begin your West Coast Fishing Charter. Surrounded by deep waters rich with diverse marine life, Bamfield has long been regarded as one of the main sportfishing hubs of Vancouver Island. Home to some of the coast’s best halibut fishing and the unparalleled Music By the Sea festival, this idyllic seaside town is a beautiful place to launch an unforgettable Alberni Charters Adventure.
