Halibut Fishing Charters

Barkley Sound Halibut Fishing Charters

Fishing for Halibut is one of our favourite things to do at Alberni Charters and the Folger Halibut Grounds in Barkley Sound is one of our best spots. Jigging for halibut is a great group activity and the satisfaction of landing one is beyond compare. Our average halibut catch is over 46 pounds.

From April 1 to August 15, turn any of our charters into a dedicated Halibut Charter:

Departure Points

Poett Nook

Poett Nook is one of our favourite departure points for our west coast 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.
