Book with Wayne
Captain Wayne is ready to show you the beauty of Vancouver Island and its world-renowned fisheries on Full Melt Charters.
Based in Sooke, BC, you’ll be positioned within minutes from massive salmon and halibut, ready for the taking.
You can expect a welcoming environment, full of positivity and encouragement. Captain Wayne is very personable, and you’re sure to love fishing with him!
On these trips, it’s common to troll for salmon, or jig bottom fish such as halibut. Fish caught during the trip are yours to take home, so long as they're within the legal limit. Wayne will offer to clean your catch for you, or to have it taken to a processor for shipping within Canada. Now that's dinner!
Trips with Full Melt Charters are open to the whole family and children of all ages, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Captain Wayne has a long history of outdoor leadership with children, and will always have a supportive, enthusiastic and encouraging attitude with your kids.
You'll be casting lines from a 23 foot Grady-White fishing boat with room for 5 passengers. It has electric down-riggers and all the essentials. You can always expect a clean boat, outfitted with top of the line fishing gear and navigational equipment. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide all the help and equipment you’ll need to catch fish, and you’ll notice his desire and willingness to spread his knowledge.
Captain Wayne will offer instruction and direction on how to land the fish, but the rod will be in your hands!
There may be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is available online, or you can ask the captain.
It's always wise to bring extra layers, sunscreen, a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation.
Now, come aboard with Full Melt Charters and get hooked!
